Back from the Beach And the Winners ARE!!

As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Vacation was wonderful, but we are glad to be in our Home Sweet Home, once again.

Did you miss me?? I missed y'all a lot and even checked in a few times, but for the most part, stayed off the computer and really enjoyed our beach time. It was a fantastic week, full of fun memories with precious friends and one that I won't soon forget. Of course, I took LOTS of pics and will be sharing all of those with you this week.

So, we'll start here with a few pics of our first day and I'll go ahead and get the anticipation out of the way from the GIVEAWAY that y'all so enthusiastically jumped into! Thanks to all of you who played while I was gone. It was fun to read all the comments and I appreciate the great response.

Here are the GRAND winners: #1 will choose 3 items and everyone else will choose 2.

#1 - Nancy with Southern Lady, you are the Grand Prize Winner and will choose 3 items from the giveaway prizes.

#2 - C. Elliott - no email address for you, so please email me as soon as you can to claim your prize too.

#3 - Sue with Life at Home

#4 - KJ with Eye-dyllic

#5 - Cena with Unexpected Necessities

Thanks to you all for playing along. If the winners will please email me at rhoda12@bellsouth.net to claim your prizes, I'll get those out this week. Please tell me which 2 (or 3 items for you, Nancy) items you'd like and I'll sort them out as best I can with who gets what. I hope you all want different things, that would make it SO easy, LOL!

In the meantime, enjoy the beach pics! There are a TON more to come this week.
We rolled into Seagrove and stopped for lunch at the Seagrove Market, which we discovered last year has the best fried or broiled fish baskets. So, we started things off right. This is broiled grouper. It was YUM!
This is the view from our 3 story condo. What a breathtaking view it was!
We immediately hit the beach for a little walk and chillin'.
There are some gorgeous beach houses right around where we stayed and any one of these would be fun to escape to for a week.
You just don't find sand any whiter than this.
Or water any prettier.

This is our condo complex from beachside.

Ahhh, the week has just begun.
I think this was the next a.m. when we went walking fairly early on the beach.
Smilin' and chillin'

We happily got to witness a beach wedding late Saturday afternoon. The bride is walking in on her daddy's arm.
And the whole wedding party. That was fun to watch!

Couldn't ask for a better setting than this.
We ran into this cutie-pie cocker spaniel on our morning walk.

There's lots more to come, so stay tuned this week for a recap on the whole week. I got to meet up with Kat at JustabeachKat. You can go and read Kat's post if you click on that link. We met up with her and her hubby for lunch on Sunday after church and they showed us around Sandestin. We got to see their gorgeous home and I met their sweet, sweet dog, Miss Daisy. It was such a fun time and they are precious people. Kat and I met up later in the week for a fun shopping outing and some girl time while my hubby went deep-sea fishing. I've got so much more to show you too.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and come back for more adventures on Monday!
