Random Things

Yesterday Kasey woke me up at 5:30am...you know, he just doesn't understand that it's okay to sleep in on the weekend. ;) We both took a little snooze at about 8am to make up for it. I like naps!

We headed over to Destin for some lunch at Olive Garden (thanks mom and dad!). I had the ziti which was pretty good. If it's even possible, I think it had too much cheese...yes, I did just say that! I love cheese! But I gotta tell ya, there was a ton on there!

Then we headed over to Destin Commons for some window shopping. We passed by Abercrombie & Fitch and is it just me or is there continual cologne being sprayed in there? It was quite strong even just passing by on the sidewalk! We passed by Williams Sonoma and I have been itching to get a few things there. But, I will put those on my birthday/Christmas lists as they are pretty good gift ideas.

Of course we had to go to Bass Pro Shops. Katie loves to look at the huge fish in there. We picked up a few small things and then decided to head home. We took the long way because none of us really wanted to go home. We've all been couped up in this house too much recently.

I put Kasey down for a nap when we got home and Katie and I headed to the BX to pick up a few things. Nothing too exciting. By the time we got back home it was dinner time. We grilled some hot dogs and had shells & cheese. Yum!

This morning we headed over to the beach. We saw quite a few crabs today and a ton of hermit crabs. Lots of birds. Brian and Katie went seashell scouting and Kasey and I just took a stroll along the shore. It was nice out this morning. Not too hot, a bit cloudy and just a bit of wind. The water was quite calm so that made it a bit easier for Kasey to get in the water and play a bit.

We were going to go head over to Hershey's for some ice cream, but it appears that they were closed in the location we went to. Bummer! So we headed over to Sonic for some quick lunch and some ice cream and headed home. Kasey just took a bath and is napping and Katie is playing in the tub. It's pretty quiet :) The beach tends to drain the kids which sometimes is a good thing.

I am planning on heading over to the mall this afternoon. It's time to get new tires and since there isn't a Discount Tires around here, I think we are going to get tires at Sears. Maybe get an oil change while we are at it. After all, we are making a trip to South Dakota in a couple of weeks and I believe it's about a 1300 mile drive. Sigh. I don't know what I would do on road trips without the trusty DVD player!!
