We aren't in Northville anymore

Hello from glorious Destin!This morning we left Old Hickory around 8. The alarm clock went off in the room that Katie and I were staying in and she didn't even move a muscle. I just unplugged since I couldn't figure out how to shut it off. Katie and I were loading our stuff when she kept singing spider man to me like 20 times literally in a row. Last night, I had asked Katie for a kleenex and made her dig one out of her bag when we found out this morning that they were right next to me in the vehicle the whole time. Whoops.After getting gas and breakfast we were on the road. We stopped in Birmingham, Alabama at Arby's. As we left, Russ accidentally drove the wrong way on a two lane. There was only one vehicle on it and we quickly got switched around. Alabama was so green and I loved it! Kaci and Russ had a bet going at who would have to go to the bathroom first- Katie or I since we were constantly drinking water or lemonade. Right before we got to Florida, there is a town called Florala where we first saw palm trees. They are definitely different then anything you would see in Missouri. Before getting into Destin, we took a long toll bridge to it since its an island. I was immediately in love with Destin as soon as we got there. Don't get me wrong I love my Missouri fields but looking at nothing but water as far as you can see is amazing. We got to our hotel and checked in. It took us forever but we finally made it to our room with our belongings. Our room had bunk beds which are so cool! Russ and Kaci claimed them. We went out and looked at the water which was breathtaking. We decided to go to Subway and get some supper and then run to Wal-Mart to get a few groceries so we could eat in our room some. The only downside about spring break in Florida is all the ignorant college kids judging your every move and being rude. We already got our first finger for being nice but guess what Jesus loves them anyway :). I talked to mom and let her know we were here. We saw someone wearing a KU shirt at Wal-Mart and told Derrick that those KU people follow us everywhere and he's like must be some smart people down there. I told him I wasn't sure but then he told me that he would help me see the light since I have been hanging around so many Mizzou fans lol. Russ, Kaci, Katie and I took a walk by the beach and just let the waves barely hit our feet. It was so relaxing and calming. It so cool to know that God created the ocean, the sand and the stars. Now we are back in the room,getting ready for bed soon because we are all very tired. I did some bible reading today.Tonight's question is what do you love about photography? Wow does this know me so well I love that you can capture the moment for a lifetime and you have power to create what you want the picture to look like or its surprising. You never know :). Well I thank God for getting us here safe and I know he's going to give us a great break.Good night!
