Relaxing on the beach!!!

Greg and I spent many conversations trying to think of where we wanted to spend our summer vacations. Having two children as young as ours, limits our choices. We then had to consider a place that Alyssa would enjoy since she is 12. We made reservations in February at a condo in Fort Walton. I was the only one who had been to Florida before, so it was new for the rest of the family. I had never been to Fort Walton, so I was excited to say the least. What more could a girl ask for than relaxing on a beautiful beach? Well as anyone who has turned on the TV in the last hour knows that there was this thing called an oil spill that happened in the Gulf. If you haven't heard about it...Where have you been? Anyway, days before we were going to leave, we heard it was about 72 hours out from hitting Ft. Walton. We decided to take our chances and go anyway. I am glad we did, because we had an entire week of no oil. Everyday we would hear, it's hitting tomorrow, but it never did.

It is absolutely beautiful there and it is a shame it will be messed up by the oil. Here are some pictures from our vacation.
