There's a new airline in Baton Rouge - Vision Airlines - and they were offering promotional rates to Destin. Lcuky us, my parents were going to be in Destin Memorial Day weekend. So, Eden and I flew down.
The newness of the airport lasted the entire hour we had to stand in line and wait on our boarding passes as well as the 2 hour delay to get on the plane ... she really just loved being there. We ran up and down the hall. We jumped off tables. We ate a $2 orange. We washed our hands 34 times. We drank out of the water fountain enough to wet through 2 shirts.
But, we did finally get to Destin. And it was beautiful!
She did much better this trip - she loved the sand and the water. She wanted someone to hold her under her arms and take her out into the deep water, and she really liked to ride the waves into shore.
Her favorite part, however, was seeing family...
while chilling out on the beach...
...and playing in the sand, under the tent.
Did I mention she was in love with the waves? (She even learned to turn sideways when a big one comes - something I learned around that age from my Big Daddy.)
Every morning was the same - wake up, get on a cute bathing suit, put up her hair, lather up with sunscreen, and get someone to take her down to the beach.
In the afternoon, Nona had some projects to do. She sat down with this paint set and painted on all of hte paper that Nona bought in about 30 minutes.
Overall, we had a GREAT time. Eden kept saying she wanted to stay ... and, when we got back ... "I can't wait to fly on a plane again!" Not sure if she now equates flying on a plane with the beach or if the plane really was that fun.
