Life's a beach

Greetings from Fort Walton Beach, Florida! We are on our way to Tallahassee to take Mike to FSU's freshman orientation, but we decided to come down a couple days early for a beach mini-vacation. I tried to post last night, but the wi-fi in our hotel room was acting wonky, so it just wasn't happening.

Last night we went to dinner at Gilligan's in Destin. We had fried cheese and steamed oysters and grouper--on sandwiches and platters. Oh, yeah, and Gilly punch and beer for the grown-ups:



Today we spent the entire day on the beach. I was worried about the weather, which was rainy this morning. It cleared off though and stayed beautiful throughout the day. Here are the kids this morning when we got to the beach:



Now they look pretty much the same, just pinker in spots. Yes, we probably overdid it, but this was our one and only beach day, and we weren't giving up a minute!

Thanks for keeping us "in the loop," Bonnie. We look forward to "hearing" from you each morning; and, when we don't, the day just isn't the same. (I say that without meaning to put a guilt trip on you!)

Love to each one of you,
Grandma

Bonnie,

Congrats to Mike, and good luck to him in the start of his university years!
I can see you are having a nice time, and the beach looks wonderful.
The Gilly punch sounds interesting, and after the year I had with my volunteer position, I might could use one. LOL!

Heather, maybe once you are in Alabama, we can link up for a Gilly punch-like substance on one of our trips through to FSU! ;-)
