Will and I went to Destin last week with our friends April and Jason Barlow and their daughters Lily and Megan. We had a blast at the beach. April and I got sunburned the first full day we were out, but Jason and Will kept pretty well covered in sunscreen all week. The boys loved playing in the water, although it was a bit chilly when you first get in. We ate great seafood and ate Mellow Mushroom one day (We missed seeing our friend Nase).

On the drive down, we made up rules for the trip. Rule #1: Be nice to each other. I think this was more for me and Jason. We all joke that Jason and I act like brother and sister, so I think rule 1 was put in place so we wouldn't fight like siblings. Rule #2: Someone must wear the straw hat at all times. There were actually two addendums to Rule #2. Rule #2b: The rule only applies when you are outdoors. I think Jason being in the military has something to do with this rule. When he is in uniform, he has to have his head covered outdoors. Rule #2c: Everyone had to have their picture taken in the hat. Well, the only person who succeeded in keeping that rule was Lily. Aren't they precious?
