Navarre Beach, FL

White sandy beaches and emerald green waters...it was beautiful and we soaked every last minute of it up!

We got an awesome deal for a 1 bedroom condo right on the bay. We enjoyed views of the beach from our balcony and bay from our kitchen window. It was only a short walk to the beach. The condo even had a private fishing pier that we took full advantage of to catch a dinner or two. We even went crabbing but we were unsuccessful in that department.

We caught 4 speckled trout, 1 mackerel, 2 sea catfish, and 2 other fish that we didn't know what they were. We only kept and cooked up the trout which was absolutely delicious!

We enjoyed lots of time in the water.

Dave experienced his first time snorkeling with his new snorkeling gear.

Dave was in this position for about two hours straight  (now envision what his back might possibly look like today). He combed through the sea bed digging for extra special seashells for me...

We had quite the collection (this isn't even all of them) and I can't wait to figure out the perfect way to display them in our home to remind us of our trip.

We both received terrible sunburns (notice my leg above) despite our efforts to avoid it.

The scenery was all breathtaking and as you might imagine I was going crazy at all the photo opportunities that surrounded me...

We enjoyed seeing all of the creatures that made the beach their home...

I saw my very first Jellyfish (in the wild). The water was crystal clear.

We enjoyed beautiful sunrises coming up over the bay...

And amazing sunsets at night...

Best of all we enjoyed some quality time with one another! It was really our first vacation (aside from our honeymoon) that we weren't going to see family.

It couldn't have been more perfect...
