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. 😉

The Castaway Cay 5K was hands down one of our favorite memories from our @disneycruiseline cruise, just me and my girl, running along the most beautiful island with that Caribbean breeze and the bluest water cheering us on. It’s such a fun (and free!) way to experience Castaway Cay in a totally different way.

If you’re planning a cruise, this is your sign to do the 5K — even if you walk it! Grab water early, go first thing before it gets too hot, and don’t forget to stop for pictures because you won’t want to forget this one! 🏅 

If you’re ready to book your own Disney cruise, I’d love for you to use my link in my bio and plan through Best Day Ever Vacation. It’s completely free to have the book for you and they have over 1000 5 star reviews! 🤍

🚨 Right now there’s an incredible deal: 20% off select voyage fares PLUS a $250 onboard credit 🙌 
That onboard credit can go toward excursions, specialty dining, souvenirs, or spa time (yes please).

Let me know if you have questions about the 5K or cruising with kids, it truly was the best day ever! (Make sure you use my link in bio to get your free quote so they know that I sent you!!)
