Florida, Florida, Florida - Oh Yeah!

Guess where we are? Panama City, Florida!
When I was a little girl, my sisters & I made up a song
everytime we went on vacation to Florida.
Our song went something like this:
Florida, Florida, Florida
Oh yeah!
We're fishing & swimming about half past one
We'll never quit it, We'll never get done.
Florida, Florida, Florida
Oh yeah!
This is one of the pools. That mushroom to the right is a big water fountain for the kids to play in. I have taught all my children and grandchildren the Florida song so the memory can live on.
This is where our condo is. Sunrise Beach Condo's.
We came with our daughter Shannon, & Bryan and 3 grandchildren and a friend.


This is Triston and her friend Haley.
Do they look 14 years old?
Oh to be young again!
This big ship is a restaurant we ate at tonight.
I think it is called the Treasure Ship.
The food was great and the kids enjoyed it too.
There were live pirates there. Alyssa & Brett had their face painted and got their own personal sword made from a balloon.
We are having a great time. The weather is beautiful and not too hot. The ocean has some seaweed in it but gorgeous. We have a 3 bedroom condo. Shannon & Bryan let us have the Master bedroom & bath. Randy & I slept in this morning and everyone was already at the beach when we got up. We went down and joined them. We love to sit in our beach chairs with our feet in the water and just enjoy the peace. We sure do miss Nathan, Maranda & Lane & Mandy & Dusty & of course "Little D"! That would make this trip perfect!
I guess you know what I will be blogging about this week.
I saw a big billboard that said Quilting by the Bay.
I am going to see if Randy will help me find it. Sounds good, huh?

Glad you are having fun in our State...I'm not too fond of Panama City Beach......over crowded for my taste now compared to how it was a long time ago.

Some of our greatest memories with our 'children' when they were young were from our Florida vacations...the best.

We miss you guys! I hope you are having fun but not having as much fun as usual. I have already been singing our song and teaching it to our friends that are going to Florida with us. At this point, they need a bit more practice to get the tune right. I told them we will have 7 + hours in the car. I'm not sure how excited they were about that :)!!! Miss you and wish we were there.

I hope you have a wonderful time and I thought the memory of the song was so sweet. My sisters and me used to make up songs all the time so it brought back good memories.
