Seaside Vacation 2012


Seaside, Florida!
Ahhhhh... I've missed you, old friend.
The Meyers, Evans and Kemerings took a road trip
and we rented a house together in Watercolor/
Seaside, Florida for a week.
On our first night in Seaside, we took a bike ride to the beach
and then had dinner at The Pizza Bar - overlooking the water!
It was perfect.


The Girls!
Day Two - Happy Father's Day Daddy!
Our first of many days at the beach.
All the dads, enjoying some quality time with their babies.
The Evans' relaxing in the sun.
Jason and Paxton.
There's nothing like a nap on the beach...
A little downtime with Dad.
...and Mom.
All the girls, just hanging out while everyone else packed up to
head back to the house for naps all around!
After naps, a little swim
(and conversation with baby brother).
Kevin and Jason - cooking-out on Father's Day!
Day Three, beach, naps, pool, repeat...
This girl can't get enough of the Beach!
Whoa, easy there Big Kev!!

Maeryn's absolute favorite thing to do at the beach...
jumping waves!
And of course play in the sand with her Bestie Olivia!
Love these girls!


Surfer Girl.

Later, at the pool... Matchy-Matchy (and grumpy-grumpy).

That night the Kemerlings took a date night while the rest of us
hung out back at the house, made dinner and watched all the kids.
Somehow, Erik got baby boy duty!
Day Four - Bike Ride & Shopping in Seaside.
We took a little ride out on the pier over Western Lake.

And then made wishes in to the big fountain in Watercolor.
(Maeryn wished for a dog and a cat)...
Lots of photographic places in this cute little town!
Seaside Shopping.
Cute Little Shrimp Shack in Seaside.
The Airstreams in Seaside.
There is a whole row of these vintage style trailers
along Scenic Hwy 30A serving everything from Hot Dogs
to BBQ to Gourmet Grilled Cheese... 
This was our FAVORITE spot to have lunch!
Check out the cute doggie water station.
The Original Airstream: FROST BITES!
Home of the overpriced but delicious snow cones.

After Lunch we discovered the AWESOMEST toy store ever!



And then our daily afternoon swim...
Maeryn has gotten REALLY good at swimming
and loves to jump in from the side! 

That night Kevin and I had our "date night" and had dinner at
The Great Southern in Seaside. 
This was our dessert: The Famous Key Lime Pie!

More of my favorite photographic places...



Day Five - more BEACH!



One of my FAVORITE Pictures!

That night we all got dressed up and took some family pictures
at the beach and then had dinner together in Seaside,
where there happened to be a live concert
right behind us in the amphitheater.














Day Six - Destin, Florida
Outlet Mall
The Polo Statue
Our Little Hot Dog!
Dinner with the crew at Pompano Joe's



Erik's FIRST Lobster!

On our way back to the house we took some pictures
of the houses in Watercolor, here is one of our favorites.

And here is the house we stayed in.
And the back.
Maeryn enjoying the clawfoot tub!

Last Day...
We will miss you beach!




Afternoon bike ride and stop at the playground.




Friday Night - dressed and ready for dinner at the Red Bar! 

Red Bar is famous for Crab Cakes - Kevin's FAVORITE! 
Crazy girls on their last night together. 


On the way home we stopped at The Donut Hole,
outside of Destin and stocked up for the drive.
Kevin devoured the Apple Fritter!  
Another amazing vacation. 
We were very blessed to be able to spend this time together
with our friends.  Looking at all these pictures makes me miss it so much already, we definitely can't wait to go back!
