Katlyn's 1st Vacation!!

We took Katlyn to St. George Island for her first vacation! We left Monday morning and stayed in Apilachicola, FL. We enjoyed checking out all the boats and a great dinner (of course, Matt enjoyed the seafood) there. Tuesday morning we woke up and headed to St. George Island! It was beautiful and we had a great time there! We had several friends give us some tips on what to see, do, eat, etc. First thing we hit the beach for a couple of hours. We kept Katlyn in the shade and she seemed to like the sound of the ocean because she kept dozing off! She and Matt looked for shells for a minute and we let her get her feet wet. She wasn't sure about the sand! We enjoyed lunch and an icecream at a place called Aunt Ebby's that several people had told us about. It was a nice break of air condition on the hot day! We visited the National Park there and took several pictures on the beach. I wanted to get some with the sea oats and we found the perfect spot!! It was really nice because we were the only ones out on this part of the beach. It was so clean and the sun was hidden behind some clouds with a nice breeze to top things off! For dinner we ate at a place called The Blue Parrott. It was YUMMY and Katlyn slept a little and watched the birds steal food off tables! After dinner we managed to find a spot to watch the sunset. It was by the water and Katlyn just watched the water come in and go out...she wasn't too interested in the sun! It was a long day, but a great day! This morning we decided to head out and hit at least one more beach before the heat set in too much! We landed at Mexico beach...not as pretty as St. George, but it was still nice to take a break from the drive and Matt enjoyed a morning swim before the long drive home! We had a great vacation and were thankful for our safe trip to and from and for the great time we had together! We look forward to many more family vacations to come!!!
