Last month we made a triumphant return to Destin, Fla. This time we went with some friends and Abby had a couple other kids to keep her company. Red-flag waves made for some good boogie boarding.<\/p>\n

We did the sand burial thing one afternoon. For this occasion, Gina got her a sweet sorority-girl-on-spring-break cowboy hat.<\/p>\n

Abby found one of those trampoline-bungee-jump deals, her favorite carnival ride. She rode it two days in a row.<\/p>\n

We made out traditional trip to McGuires, which was a little off its game.<\/p>\n

The Redneck Riviera has gotten a lot of rain this year and it rained nearly every day we were there. We caught this rainbow right after a big t-storm blew through. One night the rain reduced us to going to the movies. Incidentally, the movie theater was the worst I can remember being in. And I’ve been in the old theater in Parsons, Kan.<\/p>\n

After two rain outs we finally got to set sail on the Buccaneer Pirate Cruise. The ship was built to replicate a pirate ship and pirate-actors put on a two hour show for the kids that involved recovering a pirate treasure from the briny deep. It kept the kids entertained while the adults enjoyed libations and a sunset boat ride.<\/p>\n

We left Destin after five days and hit Pensacola. Gina, Abby and I headed out to the National Seashore to beat the crowds and embark on a twilight crab hunt and family beach-portrait session.<\/p>\n
