Florida Vacation -Day 2

Today was a bit more like vacation (no long car ride). We slept in until about 6:30 and then had a nice Hampton Inn breakfast. After breakfast, Robin and I worked out in the hotel gym, we all got showers, and made sandwiches for our lunch at the beach. We left at about 10:30 to go over to the condo that the Edwards' are staying at and finally made it through security into the condo complex at 11:30. We then spent most of the afternoon with the Edwards' on the beach. Tonight we all went to Five Guys to have a "light" supper consisting of burgers and fries. We then hit mini amusement park at the Pier Park area and rode some of the rides. After the rides we stopped for refreshing frozen treats. Below are some pictures from the day's activity.

Josiah is not quite sure what to think.

He is getting a little more comfortable now.

Now he comes back like he has been doing it his whole life.

Hanging out at the beach is tough work.

Florida Vacation Day -1

We officially started our Florida vacation today. We left Hendersonville at 5:00 AM this morning and arrived in Panama City Beach around 2:45 PM. Our good friends the Edwards' also were in our little traveling caravan today. After unpacking at our hotel and getting things situated we decided to do a early supper at The Back Porch Seafood and Oyster House with the Edwards'. Robin, Josiah, and I split 2 lobsters surrounded with fries and hush puppies. It was very good (Robin seemed to be craving seafood). After supper, we headed back to the hotel to get rested up for tomorrow. Hopefully we will get some beach and swim time in tomorrow and get a few more pictures. Below is a picture of Robin and Josiah while we were waiting to get into the restaurant.
