We Are Beach People



When planning a vacation, we always plan for the beach. I know some people prefer places like Italy, Paris, NYC...and while I wouldn't turn my nose up at those places if offered a free vaca, my first choice will always be the sea and sand. Museums and ancient buildings? Eh, I'll pass. Call us uncultured if you wish, but "peace dude" is what we are.

Vacation to us consists of relaxation, good food, good drinks, snorkeling, lounging and all around just taking it easy. Stress free, no schedule and did I mention good drinks? 

Our second home has welcomed us back with its usual big squeezy bear hug. 

Aloha.

Shelly@Shelly No Belly said...

Looks like so much fun!! The Hub's is a mountain guy so I'm trying to convince him to go a beach just once. Y'all have a great time!

Helene said...

We are beach people to, I love the beach more than any other place in the world. although my husband differs sometimes I usually get my way.

Traci said...

Looks like you are having a blast! Your twitter feed is killing me with all those pics of sun, sand, and fruity tropical drinks! Looks like so much Fun!

Kate @ Green Fashionista said...

Have an amazing time! My H and I are the same way, we'll take a beach and fruity drinks with umbrellas in them any day over city streets and guided tours. A vacay should be relaxing!

shannon said...

OMG - that seal looks like it's smiling and that made my damn morning.

Sarah said...

Have a fun relaxing time. And I agree with the no museums, and ancient buildings, give me a drink, a good book and a beach and I'm good to go!

I could not agree with you more. I have friends who vacationed/Honeymooned in Europe and while they had a great time and their pics and experiences were amazing...walking around and learning and looking at art really ain't my style. I'll see you on the lounge chair with a Miami Vice, eyes on the water. Amen sister.

Cara said...

KatyK said...

I'm totally down to be adopted a second time...and I'll baby sit!

Cynthia said...

Soooo jealous.

Have you taken your babes to Turtle Beach (aka Laniakea Beach) on Oahu? It's totally worth the day trip, sea turtles chillin' everywhere. It's along the Kamehameha Highway, on the way to the North Shore.

I'm completely a beach person as well

I love the beach! And I LOVE living by the beach!

Janna Renee said...

I try to squeeze in an unbeach trip every now and then, but I LUST after beach time!!

Jaime Hungry said...

Normally I would agree with you, I absolutely love being at the beach, but it is pretty much the only place I've ever vacationed. I'm dying to go somewhere, pretty much anywhere, different. I want to play tourist in a big new city.

Danielle @ Clean Food Creative Fitness said...

So jealous! I am the worlds biggest beach person! I hate the winter. Can't wait for beach weather again :)

Heart my Hart said...

I wanna squeeze those seals hard. Like that little girl on that cartoon, with the black and white cat? Yeah....moving on.

But seriously, I would have touched them.

Because I want to get bit by a seal... (but not really)

Brandi said...

Being at the beach is the BEST. EVER. I am totally IG stalking you and living vicariously through your vaca. So happy you are having a great time with your family! Xo :)
