We made it!!!

Left Baton Rouge at 4:30 am today and arrived at Mellow Yellow around 4:00 pm. We met up with the Tatum's in Mobile and then headed east. This year we decided to travel along Highway 98 from Pensacola to Port St. Joe. I'm so amazed at how much Destin has grown. Sitting at the redlight in Fort Walton looking down at Cash's brought back some really great memories of years past...okay, many years past, but still some great memories.



Got into Port St. Joe and the water was very rough. Great little waves going on Mexico Beach. Hit the Piggly Wiggly for our normal marathon grocery speed-shopping and made it out to the house by 4:00. St. Joe Bay was a low tide as we drove around to the Cape. Lots of people out scalloping.





Got out to the Cape and our Mellow Yellow house was waiting for us to arrive. If anyone ever decides to vacation here, I highly recommend using Pristine Properties. It had been raining all day so everything was moist. So, we're all unpacked now, sipping some cold adult beverages (Thanks to bartender Ray), the "shut the door!!" yelling has begun, and life is good.

The beach is so nice now after the restoration project last year (check out www.savethecape.com). Lots of shells and crystal white sand.







I'm off now to go look for shells with Tracie. Have a great evening.
