Scenes From Our Weekend

I am writing today's post as I sit out on the deck and watch the ocean- pure bliss I tell you!  Friday we packed up and headed to Figure Eight.  We are here for a week on vacation with my family.

After a 4 hour drive (including a fender bender- someone backed into my car in the parking lot at Wendy's) we were happy to arrive.  Last year we stayed on the sound side and this year we are ocean front which is so nice.  The view from our deck!
Frances was beyond excited.
She is all like AH YES, let vacation begin.

My outfit for the drive and first night.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow our first night!  It was so beautiful.
Cousin Finley makes everyone happy.

The next day was 4th of July, the kids woke up super excited.
I stopped by the Dollar Store before our trip and loaded up on 4th of July accessories.

We watched a parade and then hit up a really fun party at the Figure Eight Yacht Club.
Then we hit up the beach!



Friday night we cooked out hamburgers and hot dogs. 
 
Obligatory 4th of July Family photo.


Fun with sparklers.

Sunday morning I went for the most beautiful run.  It is always nice to have a change of scenery.
Then we hit up the beach again.
If you need a beach tote you have to check out Barbara Cobb's site.  This bag fits everything I need and it has pockets for your phone and sunscreen etc.  You design your own and can choose what fabrics you want and the monogram style.

The three amigos.
My sister had the genius idea to bring an inflatable pool.  That way we didn't have to worry about the kids going too deep in the ocean plus it kept them occupied.  They loved it and so did the adults!
Wearing their Barbara Cobb hats:)

Happy Hour Sunday. Of course Matt packed his "tuxedo".  He wanted to dress up for my Dad's birthday.
This dress + necklace have been on constant rotation.
Cousin Maxton arrived and my mom bought the kids the cutest matching tees.


Picture overload!  We are off to the beach again this morning.  Have a great Monday!

What a wonderful weekend! For some reason the picture of Frances Moon holding the watermelon slice cracks me up; it's almost as big as her! Also, Matt's tuxedo shirt is hilarious. How sweet of him to "dress up" for your Dad's birthday!

Try to stop by Island Passage if you can! It's a must stop whenever I'm visiting F8I, the one at Lumina Station is the best!
