Just a few photos from my beachy vacation. It seems like ages ago now. It was so difficult to choose the perfect dress for this photo shoot, mostly because I had no idea what it would be like on the day of the shoot and whether or not my dresses would be ruined by seaweed and salt water exposure that would just have to stay there for a few days until I could return home to properly wash them.
Since this pretty pink dress is just an inexpensive dupe, I thought it would be the perfect pick for a sunrise photo op on this lovely beach, and I think I made the right choice.
Normally Destin, FL is our holiday pick, but this year we decided to try out Santa Rosa. We primarily changed our destination because all the affordable accommodations in Destin were fully booked for months.
Santa Rosa is not too far from Destin and we loved the air bnb and exploring new beaches, but everything, beaches, roads, restaurants, was so crowded. Even though we went during the week and before Memorial Day, the unofficial start of beach season, there were hour long waits for a restaurant table, and more traffic that I care to muddle through.
On the plus side, all the crowding helped us to hold firmly to our plans to stay on the beach all day. We knew if we left we'd lose our spot and have to fight a million cars on the highway only to stand in line at a restaurant. No thanks.
Instead we stopped by the local grocery store early each morning, picked up sandwiches, drinks, and ice, and then staked out our place on the sand for long walks, even longer naps, and a little splashing in the sea.
Sometimes stress can be the perfect nudge into pure relaxation. It certainly worked for us this year, but I do think that next year, I'll just plan our vacation a little further in advance so we can get back to our favorite secluded spot in Destin.
