The Ramos Family: Destin, FL June 19-26

Every summer daycare closes for vacation for a week. When I found out the week in January, I called my dad and told him that we had to go somewhere because staying home all week with the kids was out of the question!! So, Darlene booked our trip. The oil spill threatened to cancel it but we waited it out and went anyway.

We left early Saturday morning with me, the kids, dad, and Darlene all packed up in my SUV. It was tight to say the least! We got to Destin with no problems (well, except that dad wouldn't stop for bathroom breaks and poor Reed peed all over himself and his seat!). So, we unpacked, and headed straight for the pool. I was a little worried about Reed not liking the water but boy was I wrong. Day by day he got braver and braver. By the end of the week he was jumping in (NO HANDS!!!) and going underwater and loving every second of it! Lilly loved it to and every time we would put her in the water she would go to sleep.

We spent the week with my dad and Darlene, my uncle Scott and his wife Beth (they are my age though!) and there two kids....my Godchild Scottie and Annie. Reed and Annie were best buds all week long.

The condo we stayed in was beautiful. It had a great pool area. The beach access was through riding on a boat to a private beach. The kids loved riding the boat and the beach we went to was perfect for my little ones.

All in all it was a fabulous week!! My kids loved Florida and Reed talks about going back constantly!

Here are some pics to enjoy....

We are ready!!
