October 21, 2009 Two weeks from today we will be arriving in Panama City Beach for Ironman Florida. Not only is this an Ironman triathlon, but it is a family vacation.

The Thomas family are big fans of the beach house. Nothing like being able to walk out the door onto the beach. The sound of the Gulf of Mexico lulling you to sleep at night.

We were able to procure the house pictured below for less than the cost of a hotel room per night. I knew it was close to Boardwalk Beach Resort ( start/finish/ transition area for Ironman Florida) but after checking Google Satellite, it is literallly next door.  The family should we able to  roll out of bed and walk out the back door and watch the swim start of the race.

Beautiful Gulf of Mexico view from back of the house

Huge surfside deck to listen to the waves and contemplate Being and Nothingness.
