Jay and I returned from a much needed vacation on Tuesday we spent 5 nights on Okaloosa Island right outside Destin, FL. The sand on the beach is white as sugar and the water was emerald green. We arrived on June 17^th and did not see any oil on the beach. After a couple of days we notice same tarballs. We were delighted to witness the cleanup crews working and cleaning up the tarballs on the beach. We ate dinner twice at our all time favorite restaurant Old Bay Steamer! Have you enjoyed Old Bay Steamer?

Being on the east coast of Florida, I've only seen the horrifying pictures of the oil disaster. This is great to see the clean up crews, and less of a mess. Glad you enjoyed the Sunshine State =)

Heather, thanks! She is a sweet baby! Thanks, Steve. I didn't look at the photo as a thumbs up but I see that now. She was tasting the sand. Yes it's salty. Lisa, the Destin area was a great beach vacation!

Jay & Mindy, The entire ordeal is so disturbing to me … I won’t watch it on TV or listen to any reports on it … seeing tarballs is easier than the wildlife that suffered. Thankfully so many people are dedicated to helping. I am glad your trip was not spoiled by it.

It make me sick to see the tar on the beach. I spent a wonderful week last year on this beautiful island. Your baby is a little doll.
