Destin

We had a fun, yet exhausting, weekend in Destin. We left Tuscaloosa as soon as I got off work Friday afternoon and arrived in Destin around 10:00pm that night. It took us about an hour to find our hotel because TomTom was not cooperating. Saturday was wet and rainy so we went shopping for a while and then we watched movies with Greyson, Ann and Carl. Saturday night we all went putt-putting at the Track and Greyson beat everyone! (Technically he came in last, but everytime we asked him how many strokes he had, he said One Strike!!)

Then came Sunday morning....and deep sea fishing. We all arrived at the dock at 5:30am and left out about 6:00am. I made sure to take some Dramamine an hour before we left.

I did good until about 10 minutes after we left. It was all downhill from there. I never threw up, but I came oh so very close. Forrest and his girlfriend Kristin were not so lucky. They both lost their breakfast. Even Brad and Carl got seasick towards the end of the trip. As soon as we got back on land, we learned that the reason the water was so choppy was because of the tropical storm Eduoard!! Never do I ever want to go deep sea fishing again. EVER. Among the 5 of us that went, we only caught about 12 fish.

And to top that all off, I think I have been suffering from a sinus infection for the past week. My doctor is out until tomorrow and the MedCenter has been extremely busy all day, meaning there will be a several hour wait. No thank you. At least I have Bunco tonight!
