After a few hard goodbyes...
...we hit the road and didn't look back! Sudokos and sewing and snacks and sleeping kept 3/3 of our cherubs entertained for the supposed-to-be-12-but-turned-into-16-hour-drive to the beach!
FINALLY, we made it to Destin!!
One of my favorite parts of vacation is visiting new Catholic parishes... What a privilege and a blessing to have the Church wherever we go! We celebrated Palm Sunday in style [with palm trees all around]! <3

When it rains, no prob... Out to lunch and off to the shopping outlets we went!
Couldn't leave Destin without a stop at our favorite breakfast place, The Donut Hole...
And Papa went for an early morning walk to surprise us in the room with carry-out donuts again the next morning! :O If you know our family well at all, you KNOW we never say no to donuts!!!
The last day was THE BEST day... 76* and sunny! We hit the pool and the beach and back to the pool again! So much fun fun funnnn in the sun! :D
Spring break '24: you were one for the record books! Until next time...
xoxo
