Night in Seaside

One of my favorite nights during vacation was when we headed to Seaside, Florida! So apparently 30A is this strip of the Florida Gulf Coast (very similar to M22, if you’re a Michigan reader!) and Seaside is another town along 30A (like Santa Rosa Beach, where we stayed). We drove over (about 15-20 minutes from our cottage), to grab dinner, drinks and to see some of the sights! The weather was beautiful, we ended up grabbing drinks during happy hour on an outdoor patio, and then headed into the little main area where there were so many cute shops, outdoor restaurants, and airstreams with donuts, hot-dogs, ramen, you name it. So fun! I could have spent a whole day there, and definitely would love to go back one day to explore more!

Buddy's Ice Cream

Two more posts from Santa Rosa Beach, Florida! The first full day we were there, we laid out by the pool and beach (and got maybe a little too much sun!) so the next day when everyone else was heading back to the pool, Eric and I decided to walk into town, do a little shopping, and grab some ice-cream! I loved that we were easily able to walk from our cottage to the little strip of cute shops, artsy shacks and of course… ice cream! Buddy’s Ice Cream was just down the street from us, which was awesome… and a little dangerous! We went on one of our first nights and it was crazy busy, but during the day it wasn’t too bad! We loaded up on strawberry cheesecake ice-cream. Yum!

Santa Rosa Beach

Oh my gosh, I’m so behind! We were in Florida a MONTH ago! When we got home, we just got so busy right away with remodeling our apartment and everything else just sort of got pushed aside! Plus with a few blog collabs I had lined up, these photos have been on pause! But I’m here to wrap up my Florida content from our trip to Santa Rosa Beach! (Two more posts after this one!) It’s full-blown spring here in Michigan, our apartment remodel is feeling super good (we’re not stepping over paint or cardboard anymore!) and I feel like I can start to focus on my “normal” — working, blogging, cooking meals at home, heading to FLEX, actually relaxing with Eric (haha) and watching Netflix in bed. 😆 But in the meantime, let’s back up a month ago to our trip to Santa Rosa Beach!

Brunch in Santa Rosa Beach

Hello… from Florida still! Well, I’m back in Michigan of course, but I have a few more posts coming at ya from our vacation to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida! We had such a great time on our trip! On this particular day, we woke up, and headed over to the main area for brunch at The Perfect Pig, which was one of our favorite restaurants on this trip! So good. Eric and I both had their endless mimosa bar and I ordered the benedict and Eric got a skillet. Everything everyone else got looked delicious too. I’m starting to forget all the details of our trip — so I need to make sure I blog everything before I forget! But I’m pretty sure after brunch, we headed back to our cottage to change, and hit up the pool and beach for the day. Any sunny day we had, we tried to take advantage of being around water!

Coastal paradise

Hello again! We’re back from our trip to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida! We had a great time, and I really loved getting the chance to explore and experience a new town. Especially one I had never even heard of a few months ago! Our friends (and Eric’s bandmates) invited us on their annual vacation over spring break, so we happily obliged! It’s very rare I ever take a week off, especially during Michigan’s crummy weather, so it was a really nice escape. I usually spend all of my vacation days as long weekends in the summer, so it was fun to try something new! I’ll be back with a few more posts from Florida, so stay tuned!
