Beach Trip 2014 Part 2

July 4, 2014 | family, Travel

Happy 4th of July everyone! Have a great and safe holiday weekend.

The first full day we were at the beach, I was SO looking forward to breakfast. I am not normally someone who gets excited about breakfast, but yall, this one is amazing. Cooked to order omelets, mini Belgian waffles, apple wood bacon, hash browns, grits, sausage, yogurt, cereal, pastries, and the most sweet, juicy fruit you have ever seen.

After sufficiently gorging ourselves, Bobby had to leave for class so I went down to the beach with my mom and dad. I picked out a novel from the shelf at the inn to read, and we settled in for over three glorious hours of sunshine and relaxation.

It got darker and darker by the minute, and since Bobby was due to be done with class soon, we headed up to the inn, and we did at the perfect time! The wind picked up like crazy and beach umbrellas were flying in the air.

Run, people, run!

Sadly it rained all afternoon so Bobby didn’t get to hang out at the beach that day, but we still had a good day. We went to dinner at a place called Captain Daves, and closed out the evening with a walk on the beach.

We hunted for the little sand crabs, and found a handful of them before letting them go and calling it a night. Doing nothing all day really wore me out!

We had one more full day at the beach and I really hoped it would be a sunshine filled day so Bobby could enjoy some beach time!

QOTD: What do you do when it’s a rainy day on vacation?

    That’s the one bad thing about Florida during the summer – the daily afternoon thunderstorms.

So thankful for God’s faithfulness, provision, and grace through every high, low, and in-between moment. Here’s to closing out 2025 full of gratitude, and stepping into 2026 with hope and  excitement. ✨ 

Happy New Year. Cheers to another one. 🥂

It will be YOU. 🎄 They don’t know it yet. But whe It will be YOU. 🎄

They don’t know it yet. But
when they’re grown and starting
their own Christmas traditions,
it will be you they mirror.
Your family recipes,
the Christmas songs,
the nostalgic smell.

When they think of Christmas,
it will be YOU, not the presents
that they remember.

You are their memories.
You are their magic.
You are their Christmas. ❤️🎄

So slow down. Stop worrying if the presents are wrapped just right, if you baked enough cookies or picked out the right cards to send. It doesn’t matter. They will remember YOU.
