Country Inn-Suites Panama City Beach

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... a spot on the sand away from the kiddies and mullets...pretty good time. <br><br>Had a dolphin swim within 15 feet of me, probably due to our perfected dolphin and mermaid calls (I had nothing on Brad and Kat´s--but it worked). <br><br>We had no idea what we were getting into. <br><br>But this seems to be the only place on earth that serves Busch Beer in bottles--worth the price of admission. <br><br><br>

... were flying over the nice clear water.  We pretended that they were helping us find the ring.  They weren't.<br><br>Did I mention how nice and clear the water was.<br><br>Eventually we decided to come back to the condo and make adult smoothies....<br><br>Mmmm.... adult smoothies....<br><br>The wedding is soon, we will be barefoot on the beach, not sober, and looking good.  <br><br>Go us! <br><br>And GO Bridget and Drew!!!!<br><br> <br>

On our "Farewell Tour" Lauren and I definitely wanted to see her grandparents and relatives on her Mom's side, since we really didn't get a chance to see them on the first leg of our Farewell Tour when we were in Wisconsin a few weeks back. Low and behold her mom and Grandparents had rented a beautiful beach house in Florida for all the relatives to stay in. So Hooray! We didn't have to go to Wisconsin but instead traveled to Santa Rosa Beach near Destin ...

... and I took off running, grateful that he wasn't coming after me. When in Panama City, be sure to go to the First Friday in the downtown. This is a super monthly fest with music, food, arts and crafts, antique cars this evening and fun for all. As my Florida time comes to a close, I leave with thoughts of what a great place this is to be at this time of the year. There is still much more for me to discover. I will have to come back!!

... who knows how long, I passed out for a nice 4 hour nap. Waking up at 9:30 or so, we wandered around the strip until we found the only place open for dinner at 11 - Waffle House. Little did I realize at the time that I'd visit the good old Waffle House twice more - once for breakfast the following morning and once for a 3am snack late on Sunday. I can truly say that I have no desire to eat at ...

The Marriott Legends is on a golf course, NOT on the Gulf beach. From our condo to the fishing pier is a 10 minute walk. To the beach, a 10 minute drive. We've got the best of both worlds. This morning, it's out to the real beach so mom can "walk the sands." The girls are beaching it while Skip and Gary are ...

To say my family lives for fishing is an understatement. Mom's father Lew Wright lived on the trout stream. When we were old enough to be "papoosed" on his back, we were out hiking and fishing. Not that we remember any of it at that age. Lew was well known in Western Pennsylvania for his fishing skills. He retired early from Alcoa ...

... and turn around... but of course we had to take a few creative photos and personal photos first! During the ride back to Seagrove Beach, we looked around Watercolor and then stopped in Seaside to get Jimbo some shaved ice. Jimbo kindly shared it with Kristen and me and it really hit the spot! Jim got himself a hot dog & Coke. We rode around and looked at all the brand new homes & condos & the inn they're ...
