Beach Bum

June 23, 2014 | blogging, family, Travel

Hey guys! I may be a bit MIA around the next few days, because I am currently at the BEACH! We are only here three nights and will be back Wednesday, but still a getaway non the less. Every summer we go to Destin because Bobby has to take continuing legal education classes to keep his law license. Every year I have to suffer through a few days in the sun. Smile

We are staying where we stayed last year, which is an AMAZING adults only bed and breakfast right on the beach. This place will seriously spoil you. It’s going to be tough going anywhere else once we have kids coming along! I wrote a posts about Henderson Park Inn last year if you want to check it out.

Henderson Park Inn

This year my parents are tagging along, they haven’t been with us since 2011, so we are having fun hanging out with them a bit before our vacations involve a baby. So crazy to think of how soon that will be! Anyway, I am off to enjoy some time unplugged (no wifi at the bed and breakfast) but I will be posting pics to Instagram so you can follow me there. See ya in a couple of days!

QOTD: Do you go someone every year for vacation that is “tradition” or do you try out new places each time?

    We have some favorite places to stay in Destin but this year we decided to rent our own house with a pool. Since it was 5 adults and 3 kids, it was a good fit. Once we had kids, we started taking my mom and my husband’s parents to Destin with us, it is a fun way to vacation and spend time together as a family. Also, built in babysitters for a date night!

    Sounds fun! We’ve never stayed at the same place twice, mainly because we’re always doing new things every time we go on vacation. 😉

We have been having a great June so far! We recent We have been having a great June so far! We recently spent some time in Pigeon Forge at @dollywood and @downtownflavortown, two of our faves. 

If you haven’t been to either, add them to your list! Dollywood has tons of great rides and shows (we are season pass holders so go often!) and Downtown Flavortown has amazing food, an arcade and duck pin bowling. They were kind enough to have us come visit and eat with them. 

Are you going anywhere fun this summer?

We spent a few days at Natchez Trace (part of @thousandtrails), and it was exactly what we needed—peaceful, fun, and full of charm. #100daysofcamping 

We stayed in the cutest little tiny house (shoutout to “Sadie” from @petite.retreats!), and filled our time with:
✨ Lake strolls
⛳️ Mini golf showdowns
🏀 Basketball games
🔥 Campfire s’mores
🦆 duck feeding
…and plenty of unplugged moments together 💛

This spot truly has it all—whether you’re glamping, RVing, or just looking for a getaway that blends nature and comfort.

😎 90’s summer loading….. If you grew up in 😎 90’s summer loading…..

If you grew up in the 90’s like me, you know we had THE BEST summers. They were simple, but magical. Yes sometimes we got bored and fought with our friends, but the freedom and fun was so memorable. 

In today’s world of screen time and filling every second of the day with “fun” for our kids so they never have to be bored, it makes me sad that they won’t experience what we did. So I am trying to recreate a 90’s summer the best way I can.

Will we still travel? Of course, it’s my job. But when we are home, I’m not filling every second with fun. I’m making her figure it out. Read a book. Do some chores. Then just…go. Play. Be a ten year old while I work. Then in the evenings we can play some more, together, while I tell stories of all the crazy and fun things I did as a kid during those special 90’s summers. ☀️ 🩷
