Playing Tourist Again

One nice feature of living here is that there is no lack of things to do with company in town. 
The Feagins are here for a quick visit and we had about 3/4 of the day to spend with them.
We started with breakfast at Sophie's favorite place –Denny’s.  We planned lunch at Harbordocks so in the interim we went to the Destin Harbor area to show the redesigned boardwalk off.  It was a beautiful day to be there but it also was oppressively hot.

Most of the fishing boats were out, a good indication that this tourist season is a good one.  There were also lots of people taking dolphin cruises, jet skiing and partaking in other activities offered at the harbor.

A new addition at Destin is a pirate ship.  Here's a link to their web site with info:  http://destinpirateship.com/IMG_0189IMG_0185
The pass showed off its beautiful colors today.

Sophie and Lucy had purple Gatorade and turned their mouths all purple.

Reminiscent of a trip to New Orleans we took several years back.

We were still warm when we got back home and a trip to the school yard only made us hotter.  I decided that turning on the sprinklers in the front yard would be refreshing. (no drought here) Sophie, Lucy and I ran around playing in the spray for about 20 minutes.  It was fun.

Tomorrow will be breakfast, church and then, sadly,  it is time for the Feagins to leave.
