Our first 24 hours here in Destin have been great! We started out by taking a plane ride to Pensacola, this was much easier than the normal 12 hour drive, especially on Kara. Once we got to our house in Destin, we spent the evening watching it rain, trying to go to the beach in the rain and making our trip to Wal-Mart. We topped our first evening off by going to one of our favorites, McGuire's Irish Pub. When we woke up this morning it was raining and continued to rain until about 10:30. As soon as the rain stopped we were on the beach. We hung out there for about 3 hours. The water was really nice and warm and clear. We did see some jelly fish. Some of them were pretty good size too...about the size of a grapefruit. We stayed away from them and they stayed away from us. Once we were done at the beach Kara, Emma and Evan came back to the house and took a nap. Ethan and I went to the pier and fished. We didn't catch anything but we did see a guy catch a saltwater catfish and a small shark. This guy was a local and said that a couple days ago he caught a fish and while reeling it in, a baracuda attacked the fish and won. He also said sitting up on the pier and watching the water below, the people swimming at the shore would be shocked at some of the fish that swim close by them. We came back to the house and caught a couple fish in the harbor, in the backyard. We then got cleaned up and went to dinner at a steakhouse. After dinner we went to a dessert restaurant called Shakes...and it was delicious.
The house we are staying at is really nice. It is a 2 story house with 6 bedrooms and sleeps probably 16 people. So, with it being just the 5 of us....there is plenty of room. We dont even really use the downstairs really. We have a boat and 2 waverunners that we have not used yet, but plan to do so tomorrow. Chris and Katy Byrne are in town so we plan to meet up with them at some point.
