Fred,
Just wanted to thank you and Del again for the wonderful time we had at the beach over the forth of July Holiday.
There is so much to do in Destin; the kids are already looking forward to next time.
I especially enjoyed the festivities on the night of the 4th. The view of the various fireworks displays was wonderful.
We were able to sit downstairs at the gazebo and see the display put on by the Air Force base looking out over the water just outside.
The display was accompanied by the local radio station with music choreographed to go along with the fireworks. Wow! It was great.
From our vantage point we could see about 4 different displays put on by many of the local resorts.
Best of all, after the fireworks were over, we didn’t have to trouble ourselves with the normal traffic jam associated with such a spectacle. We were already home.
Robert and Rebecca think the best part of the 4th was the local practice of shooting fireworks off at the beach. After the major demonstrations had subsided we walked down to the beach with the fireworks we purchased locally and the kids had a great time shooting them. I was impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the security staff and local law enforcement on the beach during this time. Just enough presence to see things weren’t a free for all, but also not intrusive to spoil the fun. As a parent this was one concern of mine that I won’t worry too much about in the future.
I addition to the time we spent in the surf at the beach, we also did many other activities. Robert and Rebecca went on the “Sky Flyer” together at the amusement park just down the street. Rebecca also went bungee jumping as well. Robert wanted to, but was still too young. This coupled with many different go-cart track and floating bumper boat activities made for quite an outing with the old man.
We also spent time at the Big Kahuna water park just across the street, sliding and splashing the heat of the afternoon away.
This was truly a wonderful time and on behalf of Diane and kids, thanks so much!
Mike
