Beach Trip 2015: Day 2

July 17, 2015 | blogging, family, Travel

If you missed the recap of our first day you can check it out here.

The next morning was Monday, and I was super excited about breakfast at the Inn. Yall, I wait all year for this delicious all you can eat wonderful spread.

Made to order omelets and waffles, grits, biscuits and gravy, sausage, potatoes, bacon, tons of fruit, yogurt, cereal, you name it. After eating approximately 2.5 times my weight in food, Bobby headed off to his meetings and my parents and I headed to the beach. It was really cloudy, but the forecast said it was supposed to clear up around lunch, and I had faith it would.

My dad kept saying “no way, It’s too cloudy!” but I stood firm in my amazing meteorological skills.

I also laughed a lot at mom and dad playing badminton.

At lunchtime we went up to the dining room, grabbed our boxed lunches and waited for Bobby to come back. We ate, and sure enough, the sun came out!

YAY!

Bobby and my dad threw the Frisbee, and I threw the football with my dad (and can I just say my arm killed the next day!)IMG_6284 (2)

We stayed on the beach all afternoon, well until happy hour, of course.

We got cleaned up ad went out to dinner to celebrate my birthday a few days early. We ate at Captain Daves which is right on the beach. We were all way too full and stuffed to walk on the beach when we came back so all us old pathetic folks went to bed at 9:00.

QOTD: When you go to the beach do you eat out or cook in a condo, or a mix of both?

    I keep telling my husband that we need to get down to Biloxi to the beach this summer and it just hasn’t happened yet! And I go back to work in 2 weeks so I doubt it will. Destin is a place we really want to visit and your pictures make me want to go there even more.

So went with Simple Modern. 🙌🏼

Their backpack, lunch box, and water bottle combo keeps us both happy: fun colors and styles she loves, and quality this mom can stand behind. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last the full school year (and beyond).

Let kids be kids—but let moms be smart. 😉
