I am sooooo glad my daughter moved back to town!!! Besides the fact that she is fun and funny and sweet and etc.... she likes to HIKE, like me. And last week she was at the hospital visiting a friend and when she was in the waiting room, she flipped through a travel magazine and saw a "favorite hiking spots" article, and some of them were.... right up the road from our house!!!
So today we went to the one in Destin. Destin, Florida is only about 30 miles from our front door!!! Maybe 40. But definitely CLOSE! So we went on down there, to Henderson Beach State Park and we hiked around the trail off the beach. It was pretty cool. If you looked off to your right, you saw condos reaching up to the sky. To your left was the beautiful Emerald Coast (Destin Beach) and straight ahead was a sandy trail with awesome plants and varmints (just the little dinosaur looking lizards) all around. We walked the trail, taking pictures, and videos and enjoying the amazingness of it all (Photos on Facebook --- Videos on Youtube... soon...). It was only 3/4ths of a mile, so --- we walked it Twice!! It was amazing both times. I highly recommend this little trail. Very enjoyable.
Then we walked about a half mile down to Destin Beach. It was beautiful as always. The water was emerald green, the sand pure white, and sooo clean, the sand was squeeking. Always pleasant down there.
And we ate at Floyd's for lunch. Sat out on the deck, overlooking the water. Nice little breeze. Perfect. We had a shrimp dip of some sort that was DELISH!! And blackened shrimp tacos. I am not a blackened kind of person, but these were not Overly blackened, so they were Good too!
Triple Treat again. Excellent trail, excellent beach, excellent lunch, excellent company... wait - that's 4. What's the word for four??? Quad Treat. Ohhhhh..... so blessed!!!!! Love it!!!!
