{trying to play catch up around here, so the next few rounds of posts will be a little dated, but better late than never!}
last november we decided to head to destin, fl, for my birthday. my friend wendy, who i know from my st louis days and now lives in north carolina, and her family were all heading to the beach to celebrate her brother's birthday so we decided to join the fun. we spent just a few short days there, but it was long enough for us to decide that we could definitely get used to a little more fun in the florida sun in the future! nick had a lot of fun playing with wendy's kids helen {they're the same age} and henry, and enjoying the sand between his toes.

| all i wanted for my birthday was to have starbucks on the beach |
 |
| we got the cool parents award for not caring that they got their clothes wet! |
 |
| our hotel was next to this restaurant that had live alligators & all nick wanted to do was hold him a gator. here he is with "cupcake". |
on the way home we decided to stop off for lunch in new orleans. i've never been, and it's been on my bucket list, we were headed that way anyway, so, it was a no brainer! we were there long enough for me to enjoy a hurricane, some beignets, take a mule-pulled carriage tour, get some beads {FROM A STORE! get your head outta the gutter!}, and chow down on some po'boys while taking in the view of the mighty mississippi. i would like to go back again sometime to do a little more touring, but i can officially say i've been there now!
 |
| what? we have powdered sugar on our faces? where?! |
 |
| poor little dude was plum tuckered out & crashed the second we got on the carriage |
 |
| bring on the po'boys! |
 |
| the mighty miss |
it was quite the long drive, but way worth it! catching up with old friends and playing at the beach is always a win-win.
xoxo ... liese f
