Today on the 30 Day Challenge is Day 22. I can't believe I have kept up and am almost finished!! Crazy! Todays topic is your favorite city. This is a very difficult one for me. I am not a very big traveler. (I would LOVE to be, but I'm not). I married a man who has no desire to go overseas and has already been everywhere else!
I love the city I grew up in. It was nicknamed "the bubble." It is a suburb of Houston. I would not want to live there right now seeing as I am a young married woman with no children but I feel like it was a wonderful place to raise a family. I would love to eventually move back to a suburb of Houston.
I also love Destin, Flordia. Growing up we went two times a year. Once during Spring Break, normally with my cousins. Both our families would pack up and drive the 10 hours to Destin. And again during the summer time. I always loved getting there and going out to the beach and laying out and playing in the water. Obviously, as I grew up the things I enjoyed doing changed...ie- building sandcastles to laying out with tanning oil. : ) I have so many memories of Elissa & I at Destin. "Burnt or Dead" - Elissa is a red head and would get burned really bad- one year she got 2nd degree burns and so we laughed about some video online where a cartoon says, "burnt or dead?" and said it was lissa...or the time we were out in the ocean together and suddenly Elissa starts screaming and running towards the beach and a jelly fish had stung her- it was totally not funny but imagining us running like crazy kids acting like we had been bitten by a shark or something makes me laugh today. To make things even better, later that day Emily (Elissas little sister, my other cousin) is in the water with me again because Elissa refused to get back in (rightfully so, I wouldn't have been anywhere near the water after that) and we are playing around jumping waves, etc and Emily starts screaming...she too has gotten stung by a jellyfish. Apparently, I attract jellyfish.
Destin may not be the best beach in America or the best city but the memories I have there make it my favorite city.
