Our new favorite vacation spot!

So, here I am. Sitting on my hotel room bed, Eric is running 12 miles on the beach, Ryan is doing some weird roll-y thing to help his knees, and Sarah and I are watching the Today Show: What.A.Life :)

From my bed, I can see the ocean, the beach, and can hear the waves with our sliding door open. Where am I you ask? We are in Destin, FL, which is our new favorite beach vacation place, it is AWESOME! On one side of our hotel is the beautiful ocean that we are literally steps away from, and on the other side of our hotel is a golf course, with a pedestrian walkway that we can run endlessly on!

We arrived a little after midnight on Friday night and have enjoyed every minute! Saturday morning we got up, hit up the Outlet Mall and a GREAT breakfast place called "The Donut Hole". Did ya'll know that the mullet is still alive and well in Florida? Well, it is! No worries, we not only have pictures, but C0on has also been taking video coverage! After some great food and shopping we headed down to the beach, got ourselves an umbrella and some chairs and RELAXED! After reading books and drinking frozen tasties, we ventured out to dinner and then quickly to bed. Vacationing is exhausting!

Yesterday we woke up early, Eric, Coon, and I went for our scheduled training runs and then headed to "Another Broken Egg" for another amazing breakfast! Then back to the beach for another afternoon of fun in the sun. Sarah and I have made some great progress in our books and Coon and Eric worked on their football skills in the ocean. We ended our night with a wild dinner at the "Crazy Lobster" and then a riviting game of Putt Putt and a dangerous Go Cart Race! Overall, it was probably our best "Coon-Baker Vaca" yet. We all love Destin and can't wait to come back! As I look around the room this morning, Coon complaining about what he doesnt want to eat this morning, and Sarah is packing up, I can't help but feel so lucky to have such great friends. Friends that can share a hotel room and spend morning, noon, and night with you, and STILL want to see you again :) Thanks ya'll for a great trip!

Last but not least, I really have to thank my wonderful dad for taking care of our "babies" for the weekend so that we could take our annual "Coon-Baker Vaca". He has missed the Iowa game, gotten soaked golfing, and had to go on a cannon search soaking wet this weekend. Dad, we really appreciate you and could not have done this without you. Thank you so much, I know that Izzy and Wrigley had a great time and will probably not want all of us to come back because you've been so good to them! Love you!
