I am so shocked and freaking out right now. A 14 year old girl got bitten by a shark and when they tried to rescue her the shark followed them to the shore. She was only 100 yards from the shore. And:
THIS HAPPENED IN DESTIN FLORIDA which is my new favorite resort destination and is only 45 miles from Pensacola where a bunch of you know is my favorite vacation destination where I can visit my 95 year old great-aunt.
This happened on Miramar Beach where I had reservations to stay at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel last December. I didn't make it. It was probably because of my husband that we didn't have the money. I can't remember exactly what I spent all my loan money on this past fall. Anyways:
We did make it to Destin Florida this past March. Hooray! I finally get to Spring Break and I have a 32 year old man and two babies with me. Wild. It rained and I was miserable. The big baby got a runny nose. But it was so beautiful. It was picture perfect. The water was so blue/green and the sand was as white as snow. That's why it's called the Emerald Coast. We couldn't use any wheeled carts to take our own luggage upstairs to the 11th floor. A bell boy has to help you upstairs. So we get this guy who thinks he's Eminem and he thinks he's all cool with us black folk. So I pretend to be cool with him so we won't have to leave him a tip. You're supposed to give them $1 per person per bag. Hah! I just had three dollars cash on me. I handed it to my husband and told him to give it to the guy. The guy kept refusing the tip and I thought my husband still had the $3. He gave it to the guy anyway.
The guy even told us that sharks swim right up to the beach at night. They're attracted to the lights from the hotel. My husband is afraid of heights. I wanted to go out on the terrace with him. I mean we were eleven floors up, the view was gorgeous, and the babies fell right asleep. Imagine the look on the guy's face at the front desk when I told him I needed two cribs. Anyway my husband wouldn't go out on the terrace with me that night. He reminded me that he's afraid of heights but I really believe he thought I was going to push him off the balcony. I say this because he found his way out there to smoke cigarettes.
The resort was so nice. There was a tram to take you all around the grounds but we didn't ride it. There are golf courses but we didn't play golf. Bike trails but we didn't ride them. A park for children but we didn't play there. There is also an outdoor mall of sorts with stores and restaurants. We went to a couple restaurants. My husband hated the catfish po boy he ate but we found a nice pizzeria we would definitely return to next time--and a bakery that sells $6 bottles of Norwegian water. You may ask yourself what the Williams family did in the expensive resort town of Destin Florida. Did you go to the beach? Eventually right before we were leaving the resort. My husband wouldn't step a foot on the beach. He and the little baby waited on the stairs. This is what we did...we went to Walmart. Yes all that way to go to Walmart and drive around in the rain.
I'll have to write more later about the Mercedes M Class Road Rally and the $6 bottles of Norwegian water. Ahhhhhh!!!!! refreshing.
