Mexico Beach, FL

This past weekend we went to Mexico Beach, FL for the first time. It was about 2 1/2 hours from Tallahassee. Since we don't live really close to the water, it's nice to look forward to mini getaways and explore different beaches along the gulf coast. 

It was a beautiful day despite a few rain drops.

Longboat Key, FL

Brian's firm held a retreat at Longboat Key, Florida.  We had a lot of fun getting to know attorneys and their spouses from the firm's other branches (Orlando, Miami, Tampa, and Birmingham).  The room was awesome (and free), the beach was beautiful, the food and drinks were tasty and plentiful, and everyone was really nice. It was our first time leaving the kids overnight.  They had a lot of fun at abuelo and abuela's house!  And we had lots of fun!

This is the view from our room.

Brian playing in a best-ball golf tournament.

Fun in the pool with some of the folks from Tallahassee.


While Brian played golf, I relaxed on the beach.  I read the bible, prayed, looked at the water, marveled at the birds, and then topped off the morning with an 80 minute massage.  I like these retreats!  I can get used to this!

I collected seashells for Oli and Maddie :)
