Well, it was for us anyway this weekend. No, really, we spent Saturday on the pristine white sand beaches of Florida. We drove about 3 hours from where we are staying in Alabama to Eglin AFB in Florida where we spent Friday night and all day Saturday. We spent Saturday near Destin, FL where the Air Force has a private beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The water was a little chilly, but it was probably one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever visited. The sand hurt your eyes it was so white and we practically had the beach all to ourselves. I'll post pictures as soon as we get home. It was a great day at the beach! There's nothing better than a beautiful day spent with your family in paradise!
We had lunch at a little seafood place where John downed a dozen oysters on the half shell. Maybe downed isn't the right word, he tolerated a dozen raw gooey oysters. I tried one and it was enough for me! I was just grateful they provided horseradish, cocktail sauce and saltines to eat with the oysters so you actually didn't have to taste it if you put enough condiments on it!Gabe has started signing really well since we have been here in Alabama. He now can sign: milk, mom, dad, dog, all done, more, diaper, and fish.
It was amazing to see him start signing. One day he didn't do it and the next day he did! He's picking up new signs all the time. It's cool to see him communicate these words to us. On Friday when we walked into our hotel room in Florida there was a framed picture of a fish on the wall. He looked at the fish, looked at me and signed fish! Wow! I didn't even have to point it out to him, he just recognized it and showed me! So cool!
