Spending Fall Break at the Beach

We’re back in our happy place for one last time this year.

We already did our last beach trip of the summer, but the kids are on fall break this week, so we decided to spend it…where else? The beach of course! To be honest, it wasn’t our first choice of where to spend fall break. We’re in full-on autumn mode back home and I am embracing the colder weather we’re having with midday coffee breaks and busting out our cozy sweaters, but we decided to make one last trip for the year to wrap things up on the beach house until next year when we can get back down here and get this thing finished.

PJ has been on the phone with contractors since we’ve been here lining them up to come work on the house in the next few weeks. The beach cottage looks so good, y’all. It’s so cute and just how we left it on the inside, though the outside has been completely finished since we left, minus paint and hanging some lights. It feels so good to see it almost completed. All we keep dreaming about is spending the entire summer here next year. This place has felt like a second home for so long (after spending the last 7 summers down here) and I know we’re both excited to have an actual home here to spend the summer months in.

Today was spent at the beach searching for crabs and relaxing. We had a call this morning with a brand for a collaboration we’re so excited about, but besides that, we chose to spend the day with the family just enjoying the sun and each other’s company.

We invited my sister and her fiancé along for the trip, so they’re here with us too, which is always the best feeling to have family down here with us. We did a huge family trip last summer with both sides of our family here and it just felt even more like home. PJ’s family also booked a place for this week, so they’ll be here tomorrow!

It’s shaping up to be a pretty good few days.
