Our long week vacation seemed endless because we moved from one hotel to the other. My husband was tired driving the Interstate so, we decided to drive along the scenic route of Florida.
We stop to every place we saw interesting.Before the sunset, we stop in one of the hotels facing the Gulf Coast.All rooms in that hotel is facing the Gulf and the highway at the same time. It was $100 a day but, with this view, it was all worth it.
We checked-in the hotel at around 5PM and we just stayed at the balcony for the rest of the evening. There were people on the beach playing the volleyball and some are just sun-bathing.
There was also people swimming and few couple were walking on the beach. The sand in the Fort Walton Beach is pure white. On the bridge, there were people fishing.
This is the pool of that hotel located just below the rooms of the hotel. Some people used it for night swimming. I would definitely recommend that you visit Fort Walton Beach. You will love the sunset and the sunrise on the beach.

After we took a couple of pictures in the vicinity of that building, we move in this area across the bridge. This is a public area, FREE for everyone who wanted to enjoy the clear blue water.
So, we transfer to the next beach resort which is for Military family only. It is exclusive for military members but since my husband was retired in the Army, the guard let us in anyway. The parking fee is only $2. 
You will see this sign on the right side once you arrived Destin of course. It is the next tourist destination from Fort Walton, Florida.
The white sand is clean and free from the oil spill yet. It was known during this time that the oil spill has reach Alabama state. In 48 hours, it is believed that the oil spill will move fast towards this area. So sad to wait in great desparation, huh?
Blue sky and crystal water, what more can you ask? This is what you will enjoy in Destin, Florida. Oh by the way, even though you see the blue sky, the day before was a crazy weather. Florida is a sunshine state but the weather changes every five minutes :) Enjoy your stay!
