The summer of 2016 my family and I decided to plan a trip to Destin, Florida. My family and I then booked the trip for summer 2017 at our beautiful, amazing, and peaceful condominium called, Surfside. My family and I adventured out and did three activities while on vacation. We went snorkeling, parasailing, and to Shell Island in Panama City. My family and I decided to leave on a late Friday evening. We had driven all night and extremely exhausted even with all of us taking turns driving. I was currently running on no sleep with four Monster energy drinks in my system. I thought the traffic wasn’t going to be as bad at night rather as in the morning, but it was. There were tons of semi-tractor trailer trucks, and everybody on the road had

Our check in time wasn’t until 4 o’clock pm. First, we decided to go eat lunch at Fudpuckers. I decided to try alligator, it was tough and didn’t have must taste at all. They have live alligators. You can sit and explore and watch them interact with other live alligators and people.

We had seen some ghost crabs and sand fleas, which were very pale and white. Still to this day I can smell the ocean, salty and breezy. The smell of the ocean is really different than in Illinois. In Illinois, we have more of a farmland and dusty smell, not as fresh as the beach air. The first event my family and I decided to do was snorkeling at Destin Harbor. It was pretty exciting and a neat experience. We had to put on goggles, snorkel, and fins. This way we could explore the sea life out in the ocean. My mother found at least six sea crabs, I thought it was neat. Second, my mother and I parasailed at Destin Harbor. We had to arrive early to fill out information and get out group sorted out. I was terrifies and excited all at once. The attendants’ strapped us on securely and then let go of the rope. My mother and I wanted to be dipped, the attendants’ dipped us, it was a relief because it was extremely hot and humid that day. It was so peaceful spending quality time with my mother. We definitely want to go parasailing longer in the
