San Destin

Matt had to go to Sandestin Beach Resort for a conference. So, LeLe and I tagged along. We left after lunch on Wednesday and headed down to the beach. We decided to follow the navigation in the Buick instead of going off some friends advice....so 5.5 hours later, we landed at the Grand. Since it was now 8:30, we headed to the Baytowne Wharf in search of some dinner. We ended up eating at a place (I think called Crabby's) which matched our attitude. The food turned out great. We both ate some shrimp sandwiches, fried cheese, and called it a night.

On Thursday, Matt and I headed out to the beach on the resort. Let's just say that they should NOT promote the beach. We had to drive from the bay side to the beach side...which wouldn't be a problem normally, except for the fact that LeLe is spoiled and thinks that the beach is just right down the elevator. Once we got to the beach (around 10:00), we weren't impressed. There was about a 200 foot area that they had blocked off. Did I mention that there were 6 rows of chairs back to back for rent? Matt and I chose not to take our chairs down which probably was a good thing considering we stayed about 30 minutes...long enough for LeLe to play a little in the sand and have some folks light up some cigs around us.

Once we left the beach, we decided to head back to the room, apply some more sunscreen, and then head down to the Grand's pool. The pool was great! It was a zero entry pool which was great for a toddler. Matt decided to fill up a cooler while I let LeLe play in the water. As soon as he got down from loading the cooler, LeLe decided to use the bathroom in her pants. Since, we had already put our beach bag up and had no diapers, back up we headed.... Did I mention, we only had 1 beach towel AND there was crap running down LeLe's leg?

So, once we got to the room, we decided that we could go grab some lunch and then Matt could head to Panama City to meet his friend. But, we didn't know any good places to eat....so, off LeLe and I went to eat in Panama City. When we got back, LeLe took a nap and then for dinner, we headed to a cool place (I don't know the name of it) but we were able to see a military air show as we looked around in different shops.
