Working on valentines, book store and more beach dreamin'

Hello friends!
Anderson and I headed to the mall today. We had a great time in the bookstorf(as he calls it)but they evacuated us when we walked into the mall. The fire alarm was going off, so everyone had to leave and Anderson was very upset. So we headed to our favorite Chick-fil-A to play a little bit!

When we came home we worked on some valentine cards to send out to the grandparents.I've been thinking about all of the memories I had as a child,teenager and adult of the beach and am dying to go back soon!
I can't wait for A to experience the beach like Adam and I have all of our lives. There is so much he needs to learn about in Panama City Beach:

1. Thomas Doughnuts--yes you have to go very early and stand in a 30 minute line to get some of these little babies, but these are the best doughnuts in Laguna Beach...NO the WORLD!! Adam says there shrimp box is awesome too, although I love the cheeseburgers for lunch! ;)

2. The Carousel Grocery Store- our beach house is right in between both of these PCB landmarks(Thomas' Doughnuts and the Carousel) and I can remember going to both of them as a tiny child. This is just a grocery store, but it feels like an old friend to me.Not to mention that I love the crappy gift shop they have with tacky shell wind chimes!

3.The beach itself-Laguna Beach, Florida You cannot find beaches as white as these anywhere in the world. I can't wait for Anderson to swim in the ocean again! This is my most favorite place in the world(outside of Disney World).The ocean water is warm, even in April!

4. Miracle Strip-I am aware that they tore it down a couple of years ago, in fact Adam and I went the last night it was ever open. It was so sad. My family used to drop my friends and me off at Miracle Strip and we would have a ball! Even when we became teenagers and could actually drive, sometimes we would go just to ride the rides at Miracle Strip. The swings were my favorite. Riding on the swings at Miracle Strip, you would swing out over the strip traffic and could even see the ocean from them.The beach will never be the same since they tore Miracle Strip down!!! I don't care how pretty or how cool the Miracle Strip Resort is(if they've even built anything there at all-last time we were there, they hadn't yet),it will never replace this family fun place!

5. The Public Pier-but only at night. We have gone so much when they are night-fishing and they are catching cool things like sharks, stingrays...etc. This is a great bargain for $1.00
Oh the memories!!! I'm ready to be back in the Gulf of Mexico!
