Adult Weekend - Florida

An adult trip was long overdue!  We love traveling with our kids but we sure love traveling without them as well.  After a year and a half of Covid life we were due for some adult time away!  A friends family has a house in Grayton Beach, Florida and they invited the Raptors coaches and wives for a weekend getaway!  We didn't think twice before saying yes!

Thankfully our kids have amazing grandparents that held the fort down while we were gone!  Mimi and Papa were on Jackson duty and boy did he keep them busy.  He had a football game, baseball tournament in Choctaw and a soccer tournament in Wichita, Kansas.  Nana and Grandpa kept Mason and Harper in Edmond and were on dog duty as well.  Definitely takes a village to fill in while we are gone and we are SO thankful for our village!


Our first afternoon we took a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip out of Destin.  The last time I went deep sea fishing was on our honeymoon and I said I would never do it again.  15 years later I gave it a 2nd shot and still never want to do it again!  We went 30 miles off the coast and I think that was about 29 miles too far.  Unfortunately I got sea sick and then slept the next 5 hrs.  None of the wives felt fabulous and we all slept majority of the trip!  But the boys had the best time and reeled in lots of fish!





First double catch of the day!

The girls woke up just in time to catch the sun setting!

We took our fish to a restaurant on the pier and they cooked all our fish and it was fabulous!  I don't love fish but I loved our dinner! 
Can't beat breakfast with a view!




Such a fun weekend getaway with a great group of friends!  We never realize how much we need a "break" until we get away!  We sure missed the kids and all their activities but it was so good for our souls!
