Home Away From Home

We woke up at the beach!!

With three trips down in three months, Florida, or more specifically this area of Florida, has started to feel like our home away from home, compounded of course by the fact that we closed on our second property down here a few weeks back, and today we got the keys to it!! Our realtor (who we adore) met us at the house and handed everything over, including a sweet little gift basket complete with beach toys and cookies for the kids. How sweet is that?

In a perfect world, we would spend all summer down here. But of course, nothing is perfect, so we will settle for a week for now. We’re here with our best friends Matt and Beau, who arrive in just a few hours, and we all rented a condo for the week.

We try to take an annual beach trip for PJ’s birthday (remember last year’s?), which is the biggest reason for this trip, but it’s also a celebration of the ending of the school year and purchasing the house all rolled up into one big vacation. SO excited!!

We’re heading down to breakfast now where I will hopefully inhale an enormous amount of coffee. The hotel bed wasn’t too comfy last night.
