Family Vaca 2012 - Tropical Storm Debby

Well, we started our summer family vacation by meeting Tropical Storm Debby at the beach. What timing! I took the picture below when I was out for a run on Sunday.

Those of you familiar with the Gulf know it usually doesn't look like that at ALL. The tide was so high the waves meet you at the bottom of the beach access stairs. I also saw guys carrying boards to go surfing. Definitely not something you usually see on 30A!

Dan's parents came too and spent four nights with us. So fun! Thankfully, they came armed with lots of games and an iPad which kept Luke and Maddie entertained.

I brought a 1000 piece puzzle and that kept us adults entertainment as we waited to see which path Debby would take.

(This is the top half we completed!)

I was grateful that the eye of the storm didn't pass over us! There was a lot of rain on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning but we never had any real scary weather. So thankful. The clouds continued to swirl on Monday afternoon but it never stormed. We spent the afternoon at the pool where I proved that even with tropical storm clouds filling the sky, you can still get a sunburn. Ouch!
