vanilla chai jax weekend

Well this post may be a bit behind schedule, but the title is pretty self explanatory… toes in the sand, South Jax Beach, & drinking vanilla chai lattes all day, right?  Uh huh- sounds like perfection.  Okay great, where do I sign up?  -Well that's exactly what a few of my college besties planned and made happen.  Now I won't bore you with all the girlie chit-chat and bracelet making that happened during our stay.  (Shopping?? Check out Rosie True!!)  Instead I'll just share a few pics of our weekend getaway that will be sure to make you jealous & will have you planning your next beach vacation in no time!  Ps. You MUST go to Lillie's Coffee Bar… TRUST ME.  You'll thank me later!!

a sandy retreat...

It's no surprise that my hubby's job requires us to be apart alot.  However, I was able to get away with him recently.  We had a few short days together in the Netherlands, and honestly I've never seen so many people on bikes!!  Near our hotel was an interesting find, and I must say Grace loved her first time in the sand… 

so this was our little day at the "beach," minus the water… where we got to kick off our shoes, do a little exploring, & Grace even got to meet a few other pups.  The winds were perfect for kite flying, & although the day started out gray, it turned into a thing of beauty.  It's creating these moments… which I can look upon & cherish during the times that we can't always be together that I find most important.
