#TBT - Sunshine, Sand and Seashells

I'm backtracking a bit here, but the winter weather is setting in, and it's nice to remember the sunshine, sand and seashells we enjoyed during our BIG road trip to Florida last April. I never got around to posting about it because we took the trip just weeks after our move to the suburbs. It was a crazy time! During the trip we rented a condo on the beach and got to hang out with Tom's family, celebrate his parents' 50th anniversary and Easter too!

We spent two days driving to Fort Walton Beach with a stop in Nashville to spend the night. With a 6-month-old and almost 3-year-old in the car, we made a lot of pit stops! When we made it to Fort Walton, it was a little chilly, but the weather soon warmed up and we were able to hit the beach. We spent a lot of time at the beach and also took a few dips in the pool. A big highlight of the trip was the  boat ride (Margot's first!) to see the dolphins. They were all over the place! It was insane!

After all of our fun in the sun we packed up and headed for home, with another stop in Nashville. This time we stayed with friends and had a lot of fun catching up!

We made it!
