Overseas Highway Bridge at Pigeon Key

I am drawn to this postcard because it reminds me of my favorite place in the world. Destin, Florida is where I spent three years of my life. Unfortunately, my family did not live there for longer. However, we had visited many times prior to living there and have continued to return since we moved away. We owned a condo on the beach that we rented out to people but we also used for our own personal fun. I spent an enormous amount of time swimming and going to the beach at The Crescent Club (named because it was shaped like a crescent moon). My family came to know and befriend most of the workers there which made it feel like a family reunion every time we went. I had birthday parties, christmases, and many days and nights of relaxation and fun with my family at The Crescent Club. We also owned a home not too far from the beach in Destin. In our neighborhood, Pelican Bay, is where I met my best friend Skyler Price. We had so many adventures together at my house. We would climb trees, make trails in the forest, bike around, and go to the docks that lead out into the bay at the other side of our neighborhood. In this house my family and I hunkered down during hurricanes. We got our Schnoddles, a breed of dog, at that house and we renovated and customized our rooms. Also, in Destin are some of our favorite restaurants and attractions. There is the Red Bar, The Crab Trap, The Race Track (go karts and arcade), Big Kahuna's (water park), Whale's Tale (our favorite beach restaurant), and Bay Town Warf (a place with a bunch of restaurants and night life). Destin is the place I want to live as an adult. It is my most treasured location. However, none of that was on the card. The reason this card attracted me is because of the bridge. To get to Destin you have to drive across the 331 Bridge. I remember every time we would go to Destin my sister and I would always wake up at the toll booth for the bridge. We would roll down the windows and watch the water as we went over the bridge to go home. Without that bridge, there would be no Destin for me. That bridge is my literal connection.
