So, I guess today, I would say I am way to involved in creating this page, than to actually write something.....
I would like for my first post to be about our wonderful trip to the beach. I knew that with Skeet switching to Drill Sgt we would need to spend some quality time together as a family so I planned a short trip down to Panama City Beach. Little did I know how crazy this trip would quickly become!!!! The trip down was nice no rain, not too hot, but as usual I have to drive. ( lets just say it,I have control issues) We arrive way to early to check in, and decide to eat lunch, and do some shopping at the new pier park shopping area. So far so good, no big fits at lunch, and not to much money spent shopping.. We go back to check in and they tell us we are on the 26th floor... No, No please check again I asked for the lowest floor available, "yes ma'am this is the lowest floor available".. Dum Dum Dummm ( my imitation of scary music) I can do this!! We go up to the room and it is gorgeous, a well decorated condo with new flat screens, granite tile, and everything I would love in my home but can't currently afford... We get unpacked and make our first venture to the beach. Bodie loves it, we can barely keep him out of the water, he took off like a shot as far out as he could go without getting knocked over by the waves....Mind you, this is just in his clothes the plan was just a quick walk down the beach... Kiki however had the total opposite reaction, she didn't care for the sand or the water at first, the next day she seemed a little less apprehensive. The time came for dinner and we got dressed for a nice dinner out, everything was good a few meltdowns since we had no naps, but all in all a pretty good first day. The next day we go out for breakfast and come back and go down to beach. Skeet was so wonderful and went down first thing in the morning to get us a nice little rental on the beach with two loungers, an umbrella, and he took the quilt we brought from home and made a place for Kiki to lay. This was the best day! Until!!! (Dum Dum Dummm) we decided to go up to the pool in the afternoon, let me say I really didn't expect for Bodie to have such a bad reaction since he loved the beach. He didn't want to get in the float, he didn't want me to hold him, he didn't want Skeet to hold him, he just didn't want to be in or near that pool. Let me just put this out there this is fourth of July week there had to be over a hundred people at the pool watching me and Skeet fight with Bodie to stay in the pool.. Eventually we gave up, and Skeet and Bodie went back to the beach and Kiki and I stay at the pool.. I also want to say how much Kiki loved the pool, float, and every single person who looked her way she was talking and laughing at..... She was in heaven!!! The time comes and we are all getting everything ready to go up and get ready for dinner....(Dum Dum Dummm) Bodie has a fit no nap again only now this is day two with no nap, major meltdown!!! Can't you just see us, two little kids, beach bags, floats, I swear we must have carried everything but the kitchen sink to that beach. We make it to the elevator, did I mention for some reason Bodie has a fear of the elevator, as soon as we get in it he tries to escape, and gets right in the way as the door closes. We barely catch him... Ok, this elevator stops on like every floor, on the way up and he is screaming like a crazy man.....trying every time to wriggle his way out... We make it to the room, and he is out asleep in like five minutes, that is a new record. We all get ready while he sleeps and everything is going good. We wanted to be at Capt Anderson's at like 5 cuz this place is always packed, we get there at 6:30, and it looks like we are going to be waiting forever.. Here comes my wonderful husband and his sometimes annoying, but this time wonderful personality... He can talk his way into anything, he gets us seated in like less that fifteen minutes. I love this man!!!!! We sit down, and everything is going good! We have a wonderful, yet extremely expensive dinner, I tell myself it is worth it, we only do this maybe once or twice a year... Back to the room, bed , sleep all good......(Dum Dum Dummm) Check out Day!!!! We get up , pack up, last look around to make sure we have everything.. Good!!! We go out on the balcony for one last time, this is only the second time we even let Bodie go out there, I have the video camera filming the ocean, then Bodie, then back to the ocean. Bodie goes in and I continue to film!!!! Here he comes back and I didn't look down, he was only gone a second into the room.. However, this time he came back out with the cordless phone, off the TV stand right by the door. I look down at him, his arm is through the bars and the phone is in his hand, I say give mommie the phone, he looks, smiles, and I know you know what comes next........Thank god it was super early and there were no people out yet, but let me just say again I knew I didn't want to be on the 26th floor. That phone bounced off the building and into the sand and it was in a hundred pieces when Skeet went downstairs, did I say I love this man. I was so embarrassed to go down to check-out. Skeet went and took the phone and told them about everything, they were so nice and so surprised we told them about it, that they didn't even charge us for the phone. They said most people just check out and wouldn't even say anything..... Maybe I would have done that too when I was like in my twenties, but not now that I have Skeet to go do the dirty work, I didn't mind being honest.. All in all it was a good trip, nothing too unexpected, however I will never stay in a room that high again no matter what...................................
