Back from Destin

I am officially back from vacation. Cion, Randy, Dave and I drove to Destin, FL with 3 dogs in a pathfinder. I have to say it was tight but comfortable. Both Cion and I packed too much but I think he wins with a whole duffel bag of shoes for the beach. Seriously the bag was 3 ft long full of shoes. Me, well I packed 6 pairs of flip flops. Mind you flip flops do not take up a whole duffel bag. Anyways, as a result we had bags on the roof of the car and in the back. The dogs were forced to sleep on the bags for a 10 hour drive. Poor things. People do NOT call PETA, they were fine.

Destin reminded me so much of Mexico. White sand beaches and clear, I mean crystal clear water. It was incredible. I was so impressed if I won the lotto I would buy a house down there. Only negative thing, okay 2 negatives, were you can't take dogs on the beach and it was very family friendly. Lots and lots of kids. You know I am allergic to them, right? Well I survived thanks to my alcohol supply.

Speaking of....funny story. It was Sunday and we were passing through Louisiana on way to Florida. I realized that you can buy liquor in LA anytime, day and even in gas stations. Well we crossed into Mississippi and I made Dave turn the car around and go back to LA so I could stock up. We stopped at the first grocery store and spent $200 for 4 days. Yes I know excessive but we drank every drop.

We spent 4 whole days laying by the beach, watching the waves and of course cooking. We made so much food I gained 5lbs on this trip. If I were to gain a trip on how much weight I gained this would probably be my most successful. Now vacation is officially over and I am back at work and my pants are to tight. Oh well at least I have wonderful memories.
