Just beachy

Since neither of the kids had seen the beach before and everyone involved was in dire need of a vacation, we took Ella out of school a couple extra days before her fall break and headed to the beach. We probably told her about it too far ahead. I forget how impatient you are at 5, and I bet I heard her sing "let's go to the beach, each, let's go get away" a hundred times in the weeks leading up (and honestly I might have got excited and sang it a few times with her). Oh and we took the Grandmas along too.
We stayed at the Waterscape in Fort Walton and it was so perfect for us. Sweet cousins Ash & Dan helped us book and armed us with all the tips we needed since they actually have one of the condos at the resort and are super familiar with the area. Most days it was beach in the morning, pool in the afternoon and patio sitting or going out for dinner. We had sand in everything we owned, smelt of sunscreen, ate junk food, and enjoyed every second of it.
