Family Vacation in Sebastian

Every summer, my immediate and extended family always meets up in Sebastian, FL for a week of pure relaxation and fun.  The only agenda for the 7 days is to enjoy each other and have a great time.  TJ and I joined in on this tradition last summer and it's become something that I now look forward to every year.  Ironically TJ has family 20 minutes away from where we stay, so it really becomes a family reunion for both of us.  I really love that we are creating traditions that our future family will look forward to as well.  It's a time for siblings and cousins to reunite, cookouts & potlucks, poolside conversations, baseball games on the sandbar, happy hour at the sand bar, and boat rides into the sunset.  To me, it's like Christmas in the Summertime.  Here is a photo recap of our vacation using Instagram.  :-)

Excited about going to FL!

I searched HIGH and LOW for my black rainbow sandals before leaving for FL.  Not able to find them, I gave up and left.  Ironically I found them the next morning in a pocket of my backpack that I hadn't even though to look in. PTL!

My Momma and I.  We stopped in Saint Augustine with my parents on the way down.  It was so very hot, so we only stayed an hour before heading further south.
