Vacation Post #1

I haven't been blogging this week because we have been in Destin, Florida! Tomorrow is our last day in Florida and I am sad! I am really getting use to laying out on the beach all day being a beach bum! Today was pretty cloudy so I did not get to lay out too much. I am hoping tomorrow is nice since it's our last day!!! I was going to wait to post about our vacation till I got home but I thought I would go ahead and share a few things tonight.

We left the Sunday before last at 5 am in the morning! I didn't go to bed till like 2 am so I did a lot of sleeping in the car! Here we are in my mom's Honda Civic on the road...it was pretty crammed! We are kind of disorganized packers! Ha!


We arrived at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi Mississippi (our first stop) at around 1:00 pm. I am glad we got there early so we could go lay out by the pool before we started gambling!


I love the inside of the Beau Rivage. It is so pretty and bright. It almost seems like you are outside with the ceiling windows and flowers. All of the plants and flowers inside are real too.


That night we did most of our gambling at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino that is next door. I was sad because I did not have too much luck! I thought for sure I could win at least 200 dollars to go shopping in Florida! Ha! I would get up a little on the slots then I would lose it all. Here I am playing my favorite slot machine...Wheel of Fortune!


After gambling till like 1:00 in the morning my dad and I went across to the Waffle House to eat. Let me tell you it was quite an experience! It was pretty gross inside...I was hoping I would not get sick! Our waitress was slammed and every one's order was coming out wrong. She was yelling at the cooks and looked like she was about ready to quit! Then a couple comes in that just got married. I mean JUST! The bride was still in her wedding gown and the groom was in his tux. What a wedding night!

The next day we got to Florida around 5:00 pm! Here is a view of the beach from our balcony!
I will post more about our trip when I get back into town! Pray that tomorrow is pretty outside so we can have a good last day!

P.S.
Thank god Wes got kicked off the Bachelorette tonight. (Yes my mom and I still manage to watch it even on vacay). Ha! She should of kicked him off a LOOONG time ago! He is a complete jerk...I cant believe the comments tonight he made in the limo on his way home.
