Last night my girlfriend Jessica and I got back from a MUCH needed beach vacation in Florida! We headed out Monday afternoon and soaked up the rays all week. We stayed in a super nice condo right on the beach and had groceries delivered so that we could eat all our meals in.
Every flight there and back was packed! No worries of Covid shenanigans--we are both fully vaccinated and wore our N95 on the plane.
The condo had a full kitchen, dining room, living room, 2 queen beds, and a balcony with an AMAZING ocean view!! Check out that scenery....
Our first day there, we put on our beach dresses and checked out the pool area and beach to see where everything was. Then we did a costume change and put on our suits to hit the sand! Our room came with several beach umbrellas and chairs to keep us happy.
The waves were pretty good our first few days there, and very calm our last day there. It made for a good variety. We enjoyed getting warm in the sun and cooling off in the water!
We brought with us a good variety of spirits....and we put together several great meals that we enjoyed on the balcony each day.
We discovered a city-run shuttle that serviced the area we were (Hollywood Beach) and for only $1/person fare we headed to the Hollywood Boardwalk for an afternoon of food, shopping, beach time, and people watching!
We brought books and journals to keep us occupied while soaking up the rays...
Our last evening there we got to watch some thunderstorms roll through after dinner. It brought a "cold" front that dropped the temp pretty nicely!
Our flight home had a layover in Nashville so we enjoyed some lunch and drinks there.
And of course I had to get a souvenir for my rockstar hubby!
We both had a great time getting away from reality for a bit and enjoying ourselves. The quiet time was a nice reprieve! However I missed my boys and it's always nice to be back home to sleep in your own bed.
Until next time!
