Looking for seashells...

A few weeks ago we traveled to Panama City for a weeklong getaway. Dan had to go for work and Abby and I traveled with him to enjoy some fun in the sun and a family trip. With our super hot 100 degree days it was nice to have fun outside and not sweat too much! We drove up to Florida but made two stops along the way. We spent one night in Beaumont to stay with my awesome sis-in-law and brother-in-law! (Thanks Deb & Kenny!) We then headed off to Biloxi, MS and spent the night there before heading out on the last leg of our trip to Panama City. It was a nice drive despite the hard rains after leaving Biloxi. We hadn't seen so much rain in a long time!

Once we got in our hotel room, we headed out to the beach to check it out. Boy, it sure is different than the Texas coast! Beautiful, crystal clear water, emerald green shades..just gorgeous. During the days, we enjoyed going to the beach, the park, the pool, and having lunch with Daddy. In the evenings, we all went sightseeing around Panama City. We enjoyed some delicious seafood at a little ol' restaurant called "Toucans" in the nearby town of Mexico Beach. I really liked this place! Abby loved everything about our trip, especially spending time with her daddy building sandcastles. She is definitely turning out to be a beach girl! This was a wonderful trip for all of us and we can't wait to go back!

P.S. Since I took soooo many photos, I will be posting more in the next few days!
