Ahhhhh Destin. One of our favorite places with some of our favorite friends. We headed to the beach Wednesday with the Merediths to spend Thanksgiving. The weather was great, we didn’t anticipate the kids getting in the water, but that they did! I didn’t even bring a suit for Grace, hence my baby is running around in her diaper! We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, you can view the menu here. We lounged, played at the beach, walked, ran, talked, ate, watched movies, took pictures, shopped, played games, mini golfed and enjoyed some r & r….and can’t forget midnight madness with Jen at the outlet mall! Be prepared for some picture overload…
If you made it this far…make sure to check back early this week for a special giveaway!
Alisha - Kim, you put my beach pictures to shame!
Quincy - What a pleasant surprise that your kids got to make it into the water! I am glad that you and special friends got to spend Thanksgiving together. A tradition may be in the making . . . and such GORGEOUS pictures (not to mention the adorable children in them!).
Kim M. - What a fun way to spend the Holiday… great friends, great food and the beach all at the same time! Great pictures!!
Amy - Oh my gosh! Gorgeous! Can’t believe how jealous I am feeling right now. Looks like you had an unbelievable holiday with friends — in such a beautiful location, no less! Your pictures are amazing. And I especially love the new banner pictures.
emily - It looks like a heavenly trip! That sand is so inviting.
Dana - I knew you would have the best time! And I knew I would envy you about midnight Thanksgiving Eve…remember?
Smart, smart people.
Favorite picture…the gull beside Gracie!
Natalie - Such fun pictures of your trip. My personal favorite has to be Mark throwing Gracie in the air, I have so many of that same pose with John and Blaire.:) I’m so happy you could enjoy the beach while you were there.
jen - You know I love them ALL…..it was a perfectly perfect trip!
Jennifer - Loved these. There were basically too many favorites to name, but I have to name one…the one of your kids holding hands. Love it! Now that I live in Florida (We’re closest to Cocoa) I’ve gone to the beach twice so far. The first time I didn’t bring my camera out much b/c it was my first trip too. The second was for my daughter’s 6 year portraits so I was mostly focused on her. And now after seeing these I am dying to go back just to capture the beach as experienced by my kids. Also….I’ve been thinking it since my last trip, but this one confirms it – I need (NEED) to be there at sunset.
beckik - Ah…the beach. I love these pictures! My favorite has to be the one with Mark tossing Gracie. He got some serious height!
Meghan - Awesome pictures!!! Y’all look like you had way too much fun!
Camille - These were all so beautiful! You captured some wonderful moments… It looks like you had a lot of fun!
Sara - Okay, I’m IN LOVE with the picture of Grace’s backside and the two seagulls flying. This would be a beautiful canvas print.
Lori - So many fun photos it’s hard to pick a favorite! I really like the picture of Grace and the gulls, but truly so many fun pictures! Looks like you had a good time…and what great sand!
