April 9th was our 23rd wedding anniversary so
we decided to take a trip to celebrate this year. We had good
memories of Destin after a trip there many years ago for our friend Amy's
wedding. We decided to return to the same resort we visited then so
we could enjoy the sugar-sand beaches again.

blocking
our efforts to pack a suitcase. |
Our first views from the balcony of our room.

Our anniversary breakfast, and it was a good one. I love breakfast
out, so
this trip started out great for me.
|
| The resort included a heated pool, hot tub, and free bicycles. |
|

 |
Walking on the beach behind our hotel, admiring the super clear water and
white sand.
|
| Walking around the tourist area, we saw this Heron hanging out on a
boat. |

A nice man took this for us, and gave us lots of advice when he heard it
was
only our 23rd anniversary. In his view, we were just barely getting
started! |

The next day after church we borrowed a couple of the free bikes for a tour
of the area.
It included a tour of a mansion that was having an Open House. It was
fun. |
| |
|
 |
Our last day included a long walk on Oklaoosa Island, where we had the
place mostly
to ourselves.
|
| Here we are after one of many lovely meals near the water. |

| Next we visited the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park. First stop, sea
turtles. |
The dolphins were the highlight of this park, for sure. |

| Back in Destin for another amazing meal by the ocean |
Then we were off for a walk in another part of the beach |
| |
|

 |

On the way back we stopped to admire some baby ducks being very
closely watched
by a good momma. |

|
| Our last sunset at the beach, next stop, the real world.
Thankfully that's a good place too. |
