Our Family Vacation was a little different this year. For the first time Ryan & I had planned separate trips. He wanted to go on a hunting trip and I of course wanted to go to a beach. We decided that I would take the kids because obviously the kids didn't want to go hunting. ;-) So I got busy planning. In no time our trip to Panama City Beach was booked! My mom and sister decided they would join us along with Shelia, Shara, & Ella. We were super excited and made the 13 hours journey with no problem. We arrived late Saturday night and hit the beach immediately Sunday morning. We were having a blast. The kids and I really missed Ryan. He loves being at the beach and he and Mayci love looking for crabs and sea shells together but we were making the best of it.
It was now Wednesday and the kids were ready to swim in the pool. Mom took them up and Megan and I were relaxing in our beach chairs reading our books. I was in deep reading when the guy in the beach chair next to us asked if we were having a good trip. I said, "yes" and I was thinking that that guy's voice was so similar to Ryan's voice. I sat up and looked over and it WAS Ryan!!!! He had managed to hop a flight and surprised us all! Needless to say the 2nd half of our vacation was perfect. We had so much fun enjoying ourselves and our kids.
