Hey friends! We’re in Destin for the week visiting our family from Colorado that is in town. It has rained non-stop !! Destin is tough when it’s really rainy too. When people aren’t on the beach, they are on the one Main Street through town and the traffic gets horrible! We’re making the best of it and enjoying our time together even though we have 6 antsy kids dying to be able to swim and play on the beach!!
Brody and Madelyn’s cousins are ages 9-12 and they are so sweet with them. It’s fun to watch! They are big helpers too. Hopefully this storm has made it through and we will get some sunshine for the second half of the trip!! I hate it for anyone that is vacationing on the Gulf Coast this week!
I’ve had several people ask about restaurants and things to do in Destin. This week I will try to put together a round up of some of our favorite places to go and things to do while we are here that are kid-friendly.
Hope everyone is staying dry!

Rain on vacation is the worst!! Praying the sun comes out soon and the kids get to enjoy some time on the beach.
Looks like fun, despite the storms! It’s always good to have older cousins around to help 🙂
We are visiting Destin/Okaloossa Island July 1-8! We have never been there and the holiday week is making me a little nervous for the amount of traffic & people out! Any tips you have would be great!
It sucks when bad weather ruins a vacation. Hope you still get some sunny days in!
Cousins! Friends for life! They will remember times like these forever. Peace!

ugh! I hope that it stops raining for the second part of your vacation, no fun, but at least you are all together! I love when my kids cousins get together, they love each other so much, it’s so fun to watch them grow up like how I did with my cousins.
Hoping for sunshine the rest of the week for you guys!!
Thank you for the Destin recs. 😉 We are going to try to hit up LuLu’s. (Although I’m NOT looking forward to the traffic!) Sorry about the rain; nothing worse than being at a beach vacation and it rains the entire time! Ugh!
