Fall Break 2023 Destin

Last October during Fall Break, we went to Destin. It is our usual go-to beach spot. It was just the three of us in our condo, but our best friends, The Owens, were also there. So we did things together when it worked out! It was a super relaxing beach trip, and we had a lot of fun!

Beach 2020

The pandemic has messed with a lot of plans for a whole lot of people. One of those things for us was our vacations. We had a Disney vacation planned with my parents in late August which we cancelled because we were not entirely comfortable getting to Disney safely during the pandemic. In January, we were planning to do a BIG Disney trip just us 3. We had planned to stay around 10+ days at two resorts. This would be our last during the school year trip since Melody starts Kindergarten next year. But it is hard for us to justify that kind of money for a visit that doesn’t include park hopping. I mean we love to start at one park and end at Epcot for dinner. Instead we are hoping to take a smaller trip with my parents in January. However we did keep a trip we were hoping for, the beach. This trip wasn’t something planned out far in advance. We just knew we wanted to take a trip to the beach just us 3. COVID did really mess with how we do the beach, but we made it work the best we could.

Beach 2018

Brad and I were planning to try and go to the beach around Labor Day. We really wanted to go back to Tops’l in Destin, FL. My parents were hoping to get to do a beach trip with us as well, so we decided to share a condo with them and my brother at Tops’l. We ended up going August 20-24 because it worked best with everyone’s schedules.

TOPS'L Beach and Racquet Resort

Back in March, Melody and I went to the beach with my best friend Emily and her daughter Lydia.  We stayed at TOPS'L Beach and Racquet Resort.  It is located in Miramar Beach, FL.  I have stayed here many times over the last 7-8 years.  Brad's parents used to actually own a condo there, so we traveled there often during those years.  Brad proposed to me there, and we got married there too.  It has a truly special place in our hearts for sure.

Mommy, Baby, Best Friend Beach Trip

Back in March, both Brad and my best friend's husband, Justin, were out of town for work purposes (separate trips however).  Both of our husbands travel for work but they have never traveled at the same time.  So we decided we should just go on a girls trip together while the boys were away.
