Our first evening in Destin, we laid down for a nap around 4 and didn't wake up til about 8:30 (the boys were really exhausted after the all nighter). So we woke up, ate some brisket sandwiches, and we went for a walk on the beach to see the moon that was suppose to be closer that it's been for 20 years. To tell ya the truth, besides being a full moon, it didn't look especially big to me. Was I missing something? Anywho...we didn't have flashlights, so we couldn't look for crabs, but I don't know that I would've wanted to with all of the jellyfish that washed up on the beach while we were there!
On our morning walk, we saw so many stinkin' jellyfish! I had never seen one before and was surprised they were blue looking. There was a yellow flag warning, which I guess is a medium ocean life risk the whole time we were down there, but the lifeguards said they aren't the kind that their sting is deadly or hurts really bad. Good to know! And these kind floated on top of the water, so you could see them easily, too. Anyone else thinking about that episode of Friends when Joey has to pee on Monica when she got stung by a jellyfish in Barbados? Hehe. I told Dustin I would if I had to, and he said he'd rather feel the pain. :)
It's hard to tell from this picture, but these tracks were pretty huge. We saw lots of birds on the beach during the morning and during the day, and none had feet this big.
I L-O-V-E, love this picture of Dustin. Aren't the colors and the cloudy sky so pretty? It's a framer, for sure.
This one...not so much a framer. We woke up really early and I didn't even brush my saltly, dry, humidity induced, nappy hair.
Notice this bird's breakfast?
Count them. Four jellyfish...just in this picture.
More of our vacay - scooter riding, beach bumming, and good grubbing - to come. Stay tuned.
