#beachbound

Don't hate. We enjoyed the beach for two weeks. Some may say this is too long, but for us, it has been just right. We get enough sand and salt to last us the whole year through. I wish I could bottle up some of my idleness and use it at other super busy moments throughout  the year. 

Our first week was at our second home, Amelia Island. Moo and Doo treat us to this trip each year as our Christmas present. We almost have Christmas in July. We love hitting our same spots for food and shopping and relaxing on the beautiful shores. It recharges us and makes us realize just how fast each year passes.

We sadly left the AI and trekked across Florida's pan handle to meet up with our bffs in Gulf Shores. The pace of that week was a bit different. Although we have been to the beach many times with the Meelers, we have never been with just them alone. As if the four children between us wasn't proof enough, being just the eight of us definitely made us feel grown up. We made our own schedules or not, experimented with some new recipes and decided that cooking together was definitely the way to go, and watched our little ones enjoy each others' imaginations.

Until next time ocean, sand, and breeze-
