Girl's Weekend in Seaside, FL

One weekend + 14 Young Ladies + Bachelorette Party = Just what we needed!!

Just some of the Fabulous Ladies on the Trip

We had rented a Mansion on the Beach in Seaside, the Mango Mansion to be exact.  11 of us were staying in the Mansion and the other 3 were living nearby so they just came to party ;)  Just a little Rest and Relaxation also know as R&R...  The sign below is a sign from the hallway.

We went out the first night to dinner and they had a cool little area where we could dance to some great live music... beach music, the best kind!

The next day we woke up early put on our bikini's grabbed our towels, tanning lotion, sunglasses, and bottled water and headed to the ocean which was close by, considering we were on the beach!!  I walked the beach shore and found a ton of sea shells... FunLovingJen by the Sea Shore finding Sea Shells.  Then I worked on my tan, like only us southern girls can.

Me and the Bachelorette, Leigh

One thing you will notice from the beach pictures is how white the sand is and how the ocean is as blue if not bluer than the sky... pretty remarkable if you as me!!  The Florida Coast is one of the nicest places on Earth, and I have traveled quite a bit to other parts of the world...

That night it was filled with laughs and an excellent time with friends and the future Bride.  We sent the evening at the famous local spot called Red Bar.  The restaurant has a very short menu compared to others I have seen, but with the well known eatery being known for their delicious food and ambiance everyone leaves happy.  After dinner the Red Bar turns on the music and the DJ kept us dancing all night long. Memories to last a life time!! 

Beach Bound and Care Free

One thing I love about being married and no kids is: if you want to leave for the weekend to head to the beach you can just go!  We took our dogs and our one year old wedding cake topper and we headed to SC beaches to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary.  It is a nice feeling to know we have made it our first year.  Things will only get better from here.

This was a picture from our room, kind of amazing right?  Thanks instagram for the editing help, super easy by the way, I had to borrow Kyle's iphone 4 ;)

Let’s just say when you are gone for a couple days and you take your dogs it is no hard task to fill up an entire truck bed.  With dog crates, dog bed, food, drinks, and luggage it is not hard to pack the whole truck up.  I was really excited about our trip to the beach because we were celebrating our anniversary.  As I mentioned, we have been married a year and it honestly has been one of the best years of my life.  We get along really well, but we also have amazing communication.  That is definitely something we work on daily and it is a blessing.

There is nothing better than getting some good ole fashioned Vitamin D and we went with our dogs on walks down the ocean.  I love to just slip my toes in the sand. Oh and the clique long walks on the beach!!!  Tootles :)
