I remember years ago on my first trip to Destin, Florida looking up at the Emerald Grande and hoping one day I could live in some place just as grand. It was love at first sight. I never thought only a few years later I would be living in a grand condo just a few miles away. 

Isn't it funny how our lives change? Things that seem impossible become possible. Sadness turns to happiness and the sun always comes out to shine :) Dreams do come true!

I took this photo of the Emerald Grande a few weeks ago while attending a Mardi Gras celebration at HarborWalk Village in Destin, Florida.
