Well, in my true fashion it's taken a full year to finally share our "Thames Summer Daze" vacation from last summer. My parents took all of us to Carillon beach near Destin, FL on 30A and it was truly the most magical vacation EVER! We packed our days full of fun; endless sun, refreshing drinks, pool games, cookouts, sand castles, seafood, guitar picking, shopping, exploring, and even a day of deep sea fishing. Needless to say it was one of our favorite family vacations yet, and I'm beyond thankful for such a crazy group to share these bright memories with. I'll let the photos tell the rest. (Side note- "beach baby meltdown" photos not included. Let's be honest, babies at the beach require a lot of work. With sunscreen in their eyes and sand in their diapers, we certainly had our fair share of reality but somehow our sweet babysitter Amy and these beautiful beach views made it all tolerable!)
