Destin Vacation

So, we left Bolingbroke around noon on Sunday, May 3, 2009 and made our way down to Blakely, Georgia where we encountered a roadway that was raised and on either side a swamp with water oaks with trunks like Cyprus and Spanish moss dripping from their branches. When we got to the Chattahoochie River, we were amazed at how clean the water was and how many folks have vacation homes on the banks. We then traveled around Dothan, AL and had no traffic troubles until we reached "Sadie's Flea Market" where people were swarming around the area with car trunks loaded with goodies and dashing out into the roadway! Holy Moly!

We arrived in Destin and our condo right before 5 central time and were able to meet the office staff before they went off duty. They are so laid back down there and the nice lady at the desk told us to not worry about a thing, go upstairs and get a cocktail and take care of business in the a.m. My kind of place! No fuss no muss.
