We have a routine of summer on the East Coast at Seabrook Island and then fall break on the Gulf somewhere on 30A. We love when others go with us. This year Mulvaney's went again. It was wonderful. The kids are older and more independent, we snagged a 12 mine bike ride one day and several mines another, lots of coffee and this year we did go to the beach (last year we had Red Tide that created an issue).
Friends are priceless! We are thankful for these moments!
 |
| A new tradition - morning walk to the beach as adults to enjoy our coffee and quiet. Retirement will look so good one day! |
 |
| Last night swimming with glow sticks! |
 |
| Seaside Market (6 mile one way bike ride). |
Family is everything! As the girls grow these times away to relax and disconnect are even more important.
 |
| Blue Mountain Creamery Ice Cream (we only managed one night this year!) |
 |
| "mini Bella" at the market the girls loved! |
Other fun moments!
 |
| Loaded up and ready to head to the beach. But first... Donuts! |
 |
| We now have to have trees to hang hammocks every time! |
 |
| Fun time riding bikes! |
 |
| Chanticleer Eatery has the best cookies! yes... 3 dozen to go! We did not eat them all at one time! |
 |
| Destin Walmart Airbush is a tradition! The owner is fabulous! He photo bombed the picture but how perfect. |
Sweet pics of the girls!
 |
| a little excited for the beach! |
 |
| This girl moved the sand more than the waves...until the last day when she was all about the big waves! |
 |
| Boshamps dinner and she was done! |
 |
| We have a teenager! |
 |
| they loved to catch crabs. We did find you can do it in the morning as well when they are coming out of the sand. Seems to be harder! |
Until next year!...... we miss the palm trees, beach, ocean, and most of all the time away with no schedules to contend with!
