Count down to be beach bound

My beach baby sunning at the beach last year

Well, the countdown has almost ended and it is time to finally head to the beach! The oil has not been a concern of mine until this Wednesday. It has been spotted in a few different areas of Destin, FL. I am not worried about the oil though. I am concerned about all the animals and the residents that live off the tourist support. If you don't know about Destin, it is so so busy during the spring and summer months and it is dead during the winter. They make their annual money off tourism in the summer months. I have a few friends that live there and it is hard times right now. Please pray for God's will to allow someone or something to FIX this oil leak.

I am so excited though. I always pack super early and I have procrastinated this year and have not even started. I know, you probably think, I am a teacher and have nothing else to do. Well, I have taught VBS all week and volunteered to keep the "friends" Houston brought to church and even had 2 sleepovers this week. It was so worth it. I really enjoyed Vbs this year. i had great assistants, students and the theme was right up my alley. (Cowboy/western)

My whole family is going on our trip together this year. It will be mom and dad and Tim, Houston and I. We have many fun adventures planned already and I am sure we will find tons of other stuff to keep us busy. Tim is not too excited about the oil spill and being gone from home (he is a workaholic). But I know he will have a ball once we get there. He always does.

Mom and I, of course, will shop til we drop. I absolutely love the Destin Commons mall and the SandDestin outlets! Can't wait, but I will try to keep everyone posted. Have a great week!
