Destin Vacation Part 3 - Kalmar Family Rises

Our glorious Destin trip has come to an end.  This is the final installment of our 3 part trilogy outlining our wonderful family adventure.  Overall we had a great time!  The condo we rented provided just the right mix of amenities for both the young (twins) and not as young (Mom & Dad).  We celebrated a few firsts on the trip including Jordan & Taylor's first swim in the ocean (it took 3 days to get them in), first walk across the sand (Jordan lost her cool as she thought she was sinking into the beach), first boat ride, and their first time sleeping in bunk beds - and no one even fell out!  The weather was good overall and I'm happy to report that no children were sunburned during the week!  All good things must come to an end and we are already in negotiations for next years vacation!
