As always, we had a great vacation in sunny Panama City Beach this year. The weather has never been more perfect! We stayed in a completely different condo this year (Emerald Beach Resort) and while it was very nice, it definitely wouldn't be a place where we would stay again... It was just too big and spread out which meant more people on the beach, more people in the pools, and less convenience when parking/getting to and from your car, etc.. As far as amentities though, it definitely had all of those. We just prefer the smaller resorts with more convenience and less crowds!!
The kids were so good and enjoyed the beach and pools so much this year. It gets more and more fun with them each year.
We left on Friday night, October 11th (Austin's 18th birthday) at around 11 PM. Both kids were asleep in the car by like midnight and slept most of the way. We only made like two stops before reaching PCB and stopping for our traditional vacation breakfast (Waffle House)!!
We had a smaller crowd this year as it was just us, my parents, my sister's family, and my in-laws. We had lots of room in the condos since each one had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
As always, I took entirely too many pictures so I will try to just upload the best ones.
We built sand castles, collected shells, rode the waves, went crab hunting after dark, ate ice cream, played miniature golf, cat-napped on the beach, sat in the hot tub, and swam, swam, swam! Of course we also ate A LOT too! One night we met up with a lot of our family who were also there at their condo and the adults (well some of the adults) played poker while the kids swam. It was really nice to get everyone together--especially in Florida!
We had a great trip and were not ready to head home--especially since the temps in KY were about 40 degrees colder!
