I haven't written a blog in quite a while; not much happening around the Wall house lately. But, last week we took a much-needed, relaxing vacation to Destin, Florida. We had the absolute best time and can't wait to go back!

The sunsets were simply stunning. We didn't think we would get to see the sun set over the water since our balcony was facing south, but luckily, it's almost winter :)

Daylight Savings Time had just ended, so the time had fallen back an hour (and we were still in the central time zone), so the sun set well before 5:00 every day, and it was pitch black by 5:30. Luckily, the moon was full and bright most of the week, so we still got to enjoy the beach at night.


Since the time had changed, the sun was rising right at 6 am. My body clock had not yet adjusted to the time difference, so I was up & at 'em for every sunrise. They were just as amazing:



This place was fantastic! They had a coffee/latte/cappuccino machine right downstairs that was complimentary. Sitting on the balcony every morning with a cappuccino in hand watching the waves while waiting for the Hubs to wake up (seems his body clock had adjusted quickly) was the perfect beginning to every day.

The first day we got there, we had an awesome welcome tray waiting for us. A bottle of wine, fresh roses, grapes and chocolates. You'll notice you don't see the chocolates here though. Wonder where they could've gone.... :)


We were on what's known as the "Emerald Coast" because the water is the prettiest greenish-blue color. Here are my fav. shots:




It's a bed & breakfast on the edge of a state park beach, which means there are no buildings for a good 1 1/2 or 2 miles. My favorite part about it: no kids allowed and 1 1/2 miles of beach to yourself :) Can't find that in the Caribbean...unless you have mucho dolares $$$.

This is where their nightly happy hour at sunset happens:
