We had a great vacation to Seaside, Florida! I kept saying we were going to Destin for our vacation, but truth is, we never even made it to Destin. Charming Seaside had more than enough for my young family to enjoy!
We went with Richard's parents (Grancy and Pops) and Richard's sister, Mandy and her husband, Sam. We stayed at a house in Water Sound. The area was beautiful with a private beach. There were also Dunes running the full length of the beach and it made for beautiful scenery and nice secluded feel.
As with any vacation, the food is one of the most important things. We enjoyed a lot of the local fare, be we also did a cooking competition to keep things interesting. Here were our menus:
- Chicken and Sausage Kabobs with Cheesy potatoes. Pink lemonade pie for dessert.
- Cilantro Cream Chicken Enchiladas, black beans, salsa bar, grilled shrimp. Lemon Creme Pies for dessert.
- Grilled Chimichurri flank steak asparagus and peppers with a pepper jack risotto. Grilled peaches with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.
Sounds Yummy right? It was! Of course there was no clear winner...so diplomatic!
Local Fare:
Let's just say that vacation detox is in full effect! Too much good food!!!
Here are the pictures of our fun times. There are a lot, so brace yourself!
