FWB has the wonderful position of being two bridges away from Destin and about 40 minutes from Pensacola. In between there are any number of public beaches to stake an umbrella and dig a big hole. We did go to one of the Destin beaches one day but honestly weren't that impressed. Our favorites were the beach in Navarre and the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Navarre had pieces of sand dollars everywhere that if they had been whole would have been the size of a salad plate. By the time we got to the beach in the afternoons they had already been well combed of anything in one piece. The water was still pretty frigid and Sam would just run away from it. Towards the end he started to be comfortable with it and thought the foam on his toes was funny.
I've gotten very pale over the last few years so the combination of white sands, bright sun and waning sunscreen turned me into a lobster the very first day. Now I'm nice and tan....and molting. Totally worth it. Here are some pictures from our time at the beach. I'll add other posts for the other things that we did since its getting longish. :)
This is in FWB on Sunday. Sam and David buried me and then Sam sat on top of me. It took me awhile to dig out.
The wind was a little crazy the first few days and it made it pretty chilly by the water, not really bathing suit friendly.
Sam in the nice big hole David and I dug in Navarre. It took a couple of tries to get it going. Every time we had hole barely started Sam would climb into it. (Blogger keeps rotating this picture, it's not like this on the computer.)
Sam and Dad in the nice canal David dug at the National Seashore. Please note the stairs David put in to help Sam clamber into it. :)
Some of the nicer waters we saw at the National Seashore.
Need I say more? :)
