Let the vacation begin..........

We made it to Okaloosa Island today....finally after driving through rain on and off the entire time and several little traffic delays. It rained pretty much the rest of the evening, even started hailing as soon as we took off for WalMart to buy our groceries. David and the girls were so excited to see the beach they took off in the rain to see it while I unpacked. The rain stopped long enough for them to actually play in the water and then go check out the Lazy River.
Everyone loves the condo and we are looking forward to lots of good times while we are here. Let's hope the oil doesn't show up on our beach. We haven't bothered to check the news to see where it is today. We planned this trip last minute (6 days before we were to leave and then of course two days later they say the oil will be in Pensacola Friday. What are the odds? So to arrive to rain was also a bit disappointing. Let's also hope the rain stops along with no oil on shore!!!
I will attempt to blog everyday so we will remember this vacation ten years from now! This is our first family vacation with just our family.....let's see how long it takes before we are bored and wishing the rest of our families were here?
