Ok, so maybe not Paris Hilton's actual family, but at one of their properties, Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. This is one of my clients at work {Rowland Publishing produces the in-room magazine and guest services directory} and I am their Client Services Representative. I love working with them each year to put these publications together, but have yet to stay at the actual resort {a minor oversight}. I decided to call in a favor and got a great rate {and a great room} for the very busy 4th of July weekend.
A birds eye view of Sandestin from our 15th floor room.
The pool deck and all of the tiny little ants.
The umbrellas were 4-5 rows deep {luckily we reserved early enough to get one oceanfront}.
The Hilton had these great inflatable water slides for the kids set up on the beach. What an awesome idea! Jack had a great time playing on them.

Jack loved the bunk beds and mini flat screen for kids.

A game of peek-a-boo leads to a great photo op!
Pondering life {or just really tuckered out}.
See, told you he loved the bunk beds. He wanted to sleep on the top bunk and all I could think of is, 'God, I hope he doesn't fall off and break something'.
Baby girl was ready for a day at the beach, despite coming down with a case of conjunctivitis {pink eye}.
Fireworks on the beach, were up close and personal from our balcony. Wow, what a show!

I wonder if Paige realizes how much her big brother loves her? I hope it lasts...
I can't say that it was a wonderfully relaxing weekend for Ben and I. But I can say that it was worth it because, I know it was great fun for the kids. Jack just loves the beach and pool {and swims like a little fish now}. And Paige had fun exploring the feel of sand {on her toes, in her hands and yes, even in her mouth} and kicks with excitement anytime we take her in the pool or ocean. So we know that she enjoyed it, too! We can't wait to go back...maybe when there are a few less people and Ben and I can relax, too. ;-)
LOVE the first photo!! I now am aching for a trip to this Hotel. I LOVE the bunk beds!! I also have to admit that pink eye or no pink eye, I am mildly, well, really obsessed with Paige. She is the cutest chunky monkey EVER.
