We just got back from a weeks vacation down in the Seaside area of Florida. If you don’t know where that is, it is kind of near Destin, FL in the panhandle. My in-laws have a beach front condo there that they use from time to time and invited us to join them for a week. This was the kids very first time at the beach and they LOVED it! The picture above is the view from the balcony of the condo.
My in-laws drove down from Chicago to arrive several days before us. Since our family flew down, we didn’t have to check any luggage (they brought it all in the car for us) or worry about hitting the grocery store when we got down there (they had already done that). Pretty nice in-laws, huh? Yep, we are very lucky.
We spent the week hanging out on the beach, eating lots of seafood, doing a little shopping, taking some naps and basically doing a whole lot of nothing. Let me tell you…..it is very hard for this mama to chill out for an entire week. I am a go-go kind of gal and I always love to have a plan, but I did my best to relax and not think about getting back to the sewing machine. But I’m not going to lie, I did miss it…….just a little bit.
Here are a few pictures from our trip:
While we were at the beach I got a very exciting phone call with some news that I am dying, I mean dying to share with you all, but I’m not sure if I have the go ahead yet…….I will know more this week. Don’t you just hate that? “I’ve got news, but I’m not going to tell you what it is”…..I know, I don’t like it either, but I promise that when I have the go ahead I will spill the beans. And no…….it is definitely not another baby, it’s something Cottage Mama related!
We are having a great start to our summer and I hope you are too!!
