Destin, FL 2013

A month or so after our trip to Hilton Head Island, SC, Ryan, Payton, and I took a trip to Destin, FL with some close friends of ours.  It was a fairly short trip, (Wednesday-Sunday) but we had a great time none the less.  We've really been trying to do a lot this summer, given that it's our last as a family of three.  Payton did great in the car!  We only had to stop 1 time on the way home!!  I am not sure how this happened given that I was 6 1/2 months pregnant and that Payton is experimenting with potty training. We were definitely blessed with a great little traveler! Speaking of riding in the car, we finally upgraded from a car to a SUV, due to new baby arriving soon.  Boy, am I loving the third row seat and all the space the thing has!!  I never realized what I was missing, and I'm not sure we could have driven the 11 hour drive with all of our belongings for the week without it.  Below I have attached some pictures from our trip.

Payton really loved playing in the sand this year.  This was different than last year.

 It was so nice getting to catch up with good friends, and we are hoping to make it a tradition!  It will be so fun to watch the girls grow and change from summer to summer.
