Navarre, Florida

Ok everyone, I finally have internet, so here are all the pictures we have been missing. First up is from our time in Navarre, Fl. It was gorgeous there! I loved it. Navarre is about 20 miles east of Pensacola. The last pictures that I posted were from us visiting the Air Force Armament museum. So since we decided to stay an extra day, we got to go to the beach (yay!) and the boys got to have some go-kart fun.

Oh, and since everyone keeps asking, I'll just answer this now. There was no oil anywhere around when we were there. Apparently there hadn't been any oil sighted at all, other than one or two little blobs. But the next day, we went down to take some pictures (the ones below) and there was a busload of people with plastic bags. At first we thought they were just the normal maintenance crew, but then we heard on the news that a whole bunch of oil had washed up on the beach that morning. Ha. So I guess we went swimming at the right time! So we only got the small, undetectable amounts of oil. Not the huge bolus.

Ok, so here are the pictures...

Sunday was Father's Day. We like to have a little (secret) competition every year, to see who can make my dad cry. Last time it was me, but this year I think Jimmy got the closest. However, I don't know if it really counts, because he got some outside help from his friend Hallmark. We also got him a bottle of cologne, called General Patton Army cologne, from which proceeds go to different POW and injured vet programs.

The 3 boys. They decided to act like old women (again. It's become a theme this trip. They all wilt in the humidity) and refused to go all the way down the the beach.

The sand is almost white, and the water is gorgeous!

The water is SO warm. I loved it. Those of you who know me know that I am always cold. Therefore I hardly ever go swimming, because the water in pools and most natural bodies of water usually make me even more freezing. But I will have you all know- this water was so perfect, I actually went swimming the day before we took these pictures. And I actually enjoyed it. Yes, it was a small miracle.

And then we went to a go kart place in Destin, Fl so the boys could have some fun. As you can see, there are quite a few rules posted at the entrance. None of which the boys actually followed.

Breaking the "no bumping" rule

And the 2 riders after finishing. If you can see, the track is 3 stories high. It was pretty awesome.

And then we got the old man to join them

Andrew wasn't very happy, because he got the slowest go kart ever. Jimmy actually lapped him. Haha.

Jimmy drifting around the corners. I'm pretty sure that was against the rules too.

My dad. I don't think he understood that it was a race. He kept slowing down, waving at my brothers, and telling them to go past him. He claims "it was because I thought they were going to try and ram me." Yeah. Whatever.

After that, we left Destin and started heading to Waycross, Georgia. Here is one of Georgia's finest at work. Pictures from Waycross are coming right up....

Bardle do,
