Florida

This post is an album of my favorites from our trip to Fort Walton Beach, Florida! We had a very fun, but short-lived trip! Cory and I and my in-laws went to visit Tara and Joey, my now sister & brother in-law, and to be a part in their wedding.  We started off with a bit of trouble the first day, thanks in part to Delta airlines…. We were to arrive in Pensacola Florida on Wednesday around noon, but instead after hours of layovers, delays, and switching of airlines, we arrived in Florida around 6:00 p.m., and to Tara and Joey’s around 7 p.m. missing their rehearsal. But, the rest of the trip made up for the troubles we had! The day of the wedding, we all were up and ready to go, so we went for a stroll on the beach in front of our condo where Jamie showed us the secrets to catching sand fleas when the tide rolled away! (See photo) During our stay there we also visited the Bass Pro Shop shark (also see photo), and attempted to sample some craw fish (with no success, as the restaurant was out of them).
Tara and Joey’s wedding day was a beautiful day, and they both looked amazing! I had fun hanging out with the girls as they got ready and enjoyed seeing the day come together for the lucky couple! The ceremony was a small, quaint but beautiful one, as they got married beach side by Reverend Eain Murphy. (my brother in-law~ AKA ‘the rev’) It was a very touching service, and as Tara and Joey read a poem to each other, the tears began to roll. This was such a great experience- I am glad to be a part of their family, and I think Tara and Joey were made for each other!
After the wedding, we headed to the Elks lodge for a fun reception. They had a fabulous meal, of which I enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp (my favorite!) and everyone drank and danced the night away! I would like to wish them only the best in their life and marriage, and I hope to visit them again sometime soon!
