Beach and Sun

We survived our first family vacation. We just got back from Destin,FL and had such a good time. The adventure goes a little something like this. We packed up the car or should I say loaded down the car and head off. We drove half way and then stopped in Mississippi to stay the night. We did not set a wake up call but got one anyways. At 530am the smoke alarms went off and we had to leave the building. One of the ovens had started smoking but they were able to keep it from starting a fire. So we ate a little breakfast and then went back to bed for a couple of hours. Also that night Trey came down sick and had a bad fever. The vacation started off great. We packed up and headed for Florida. On the way Trey just got worse so we were on the look for an urgent care place. We finally found one in Mobile,Al. They said Trey had strep throat. So on we pressed with an unexpected expense and a hopefully soon to be better Trey.

We got to Destin and it was beautiful. Cooper was not into the sand, in fact he was terrified of it. It took us a while to convince him that it was fun. He eventually liked it and had a blast on the beach. The ocean on the other hand he never really liked. He was just not to sure about it.

Then on Sunday night Cooper spiked a high fever. So we debated on taking him to the ER due to Trey being sick. We ended up taking him in and they just assumed he had strep and started him on antibiotics. It took like 2 1/2 days to get Cooper's fever to break. He was a good trooper we still got to go do somethings. We took Cooper to the Gulfarium and to play putt putt. On our last night there we took a sunset cruise and had a blast. During our trip while Cooper was sick he then developed a rash. Over the days it kept spreading. So when we got back I took him to the pedi and he never had what Trey had he had hand throat and mouth. So thanks to the crappy care we got at the ER we were giving our kids meds for no reason.

Besides all the sickness that happened it was fun. It was great to play on the beach and swim at the pools and eat some great seafood. We will for sure consider going back there. It is a great place for families.
