We get absolutely giddy when schedules align and we are able to tack on a visit to college besties B & B when we take our annual family vacation to Rosemary Beach.  I mean, it would be a shame not to seeing as it’s just an easy couple of hours away.  These friends ditched Atlanta for life on the water down in Florida before we all started having little ones and couldn’t be happier.  We absolutely adore our time with them each year and we love that our littles call their littles friends – even though we live miles and miles away.   This is their back yard (I’d trade all that green stuff we just spent a mint on for this any day)!!!!  We spent hours paddle boarding, sliding, jumping, swimming, seining, sunning and knee boarding.   The same rain that seems to be hovering over Georgia has got Perdido Key covered too.  Alas, the littles had just as much fun inside.  We even ventured out to see Despicable Me 2!!    I cannot tell you how excited I was to be able to celebrate B’s birthday in person for the first time since we were… um… in our twenties.  We headed down to Gallery Night in Pensacola and had a great time all around!! Even with all that fun, it was our day at Sand Island that was the unanimous favorite part of our visit. We stayed straight through sunset – swimming, jumping, paddle boarding, grilling, playing baseball and just enjoying the company of these forever friends. Many many thanks to B & B for a memorable three days.  We’re all looking forward to 2014!!  xoxo
