Panama City Beach Trip




A nice trip to Panama City Beach with the daughters and granddaughters, yeah an all girls trip!  
 ~The girls were ready for a vacation and had asked me last month about us all taking a trip to the beach, so we got busy making plans to go to Panama City Beach, Fl. for a little R and R all together.  We drove down on sunday and stayed thru friday.  The weather forecast had us all a bit unhappy since the forecast was showing rain for just about everyday that we had planned to be there.  I said to the girls "It can't rain every minute, let's be positive!".  We arrived to a thunderstorm just as we were getting to the hotel.  "Great...this is awesome!"  Thanks to the covered area for unloading we managed to unload the car and get moved into the hotel.  The rain cleared out and we headed out into the sunshine to explore the surroundings i.e., the pool area and the beach.  Luckily from then on, we had beautiful sunny days for the rest of the week and only had rain again on thursday evening and on friday morning, before the time that we checked out. 

We had much sun and fun!  Plenty of beach and pool time, some shopping and some good eats too.  Speaking of good eats, one evening we went for dinner at Bishops's and had all you can eat crab legs, along with other seafood goodies and many other items that were on their buffet.  Great place to eat, and eat, and eat for sure!  We all had a great time on our beach vacation and enjoyed our time away. 
I'm truly very glad I got to have the time with all my girls, all to myself.

~On a personal note -Funny quotes or things to remember or a (private joke):  "Great it's gonna rain all week".. "Naa it can't rain every minute!", "Engrish funny!",  "Where's my bag, did you get my bag?" .."Well great might as well have just ripped up a Twenty!", "There's no way they will let me get the stuff I lost!"..(Oh Yes they did, "I told you they would!"), "OMGosh she has her belly uncovered now!", "Hmmm...the shorter one wasn't that short and is cuter even!", "I gave them some food"..."NO!!! Don't Feed The Birds!!", "I ordered Lemon pie!- twice!".."Oh good a free extra pie now!", "Be Optimistic.. don't you be a grumpy ..when the road gets bumpy..just smile smile smile!", "SHIPS!-Pirates! and Boats!", "Erk Erk Erk..."get out of the pool, HURRY!!!", "It's too bad they don't have a  P L A Y G R O U N D there.. What Mom, I'm not good at spelling big words right now!"...
