Farwig Family Vacation

We packed up the SUV and hit the road to visit Jim's parents at their home in Mobile. After relaxing there for a couple days, we headed over to Destin, FL where we met up with the Jacobs. Our condo was nicknamed, "Villa Pepto Bismol" for the lovely pink color that decorated every surface. The Villa was within walking distance to the beach, which is all that really matters on a beach trip. The girls had a great time playing in the sand and surf. Maggie especially enjoyed the pool where she mustered the courage to "go underneath water" and loved it! I was so proud that she succeeded in this preliminary swimming feat, especially since she has not had formal lessons yet.

We celebrated MawMaw's birthday with a delicious cake and a nice dinner out on our last night there. As always, the girls loved the extra affection showered on them and we enjoyed playing games and relaxing together. When it was time to head home, we decided not to spend the night as we had on the way down, but to push on through. After 15 hours in the car, we arrived safely back home around 1 am. Maggie and Claire did a fantastic job in the car that long and have been sleeping in late every day since!
