I’m not going to bore you with all the details of our vacation. It was AWESOME. We spent the last week of summer at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in Destin, Florida. The cabins are beautiful, little houses (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) with full kitchens (granite countertops!), tile floors, and screened in porches. The park is gated and very family friendly. Also, there are THREE miles of private beach to explore. You can spend the entire week at the park and never get bored.
My Mom, Cassie, and Paul were able to caravan down to the gulf with us and we are already planning a three week trip next year! It is possible to vacation with the entire family and not fight, but you have to really love each other. 🙂
I want to share some of my favorite pictures. If you follow me on Instagram (click the Instagram logo in the sidebar) you have already marveled at how beautiful my family is…

We look pretty good for traveling all day

Taking a group shot is hard
