Happy Belated Veteran's Day!

A big thank you to all our friends, familys and those we'll never meet who have or currently serve our country. It's the best one in the world, and we couldn't have the freedoms we do without you.

My sweet hubby came home Thursday night with a bouquet of flowers and an even bigger surprise...he was off work Friday for Vet's Day! YIPEE!

Friday we headed to Destin for some shopping and lunch at a place I had heard about on the radio. I had no idea it would work out so well. The place was RIGHT on the beach and it was such a great atmosphere, with music playing and even a playground on the beach to use while we waited for our table. Since the weather has cooled down so much, the sand was nice and cool on my piggies. Friday was a warm day, though, in the early 80's...PERFECT! There were even boat races going on in the water...we're not sure if they were practising or really racing, but these race/speed boats were zooming by at unimaginable speed, with helicopters flying right behind them, really low and close to the ocean. We're not positive what their purpose was, but Brian's guess is just in case they crash, there is medical attention immediately. My guess was the helicopters were clocking how fast they were going. Who knows? We'll look it up. We tried to get a picture, but they were so fast, it was impossible. Anyway, we had an awesome day!!!

The flowers Brian brought me...it's hard so to see, but they are in a coffee mug, how cute is that?

Here's Nolan on the slide, not quite sure what to make of it:

View from our table. If you look to the right, almost smack in the middle of the picture, you can see the waves one of the speed boats are making, and a TEENY TINY dark blob above the water...that's a helicopter.
