One of the perks of living in Nashville, was being so close to the beautiful beaches of Florida! After only a half-day of driving we could sink our toes in the powdery white sand, and swim in the clear blue-green waters. Before our son started school, we had the freedom to drive to the quiet and quant town of Navarre Beach, or the more bustling Panama Beach, whenever we wanted.

Since moving to Texas, we haven’t been able to Visit Florida as often as we’d like (this girl doesn’t drive that far in one day!). Fortunately, Mr. Sugarplum has family with beach houses in Destin and Siesta Key, so we’ve been treated a few times over the years.

It is so fun to relax as a family, and explore all that Florida beaches have to offer. One of our favorite trips was to Sanibel Island. Hopefully someone we know will buy property there soon, and we’ll go again!

Good luck…and if you win, you have to take me with you! Not really.
My parents have a condo in Siesta Key – I love the sand there!! They were pretty hard hit by the storms over the weekend though.
I'd love to go to the beaches in Florida. I've only been to Orlando a couple of times. We were thinking of going next summer – my husband would LOVE to fish there! Thanks for letting us know about the giveaway! Good luck!
P.S. That pic of you in the white dress with your daughter is gorgeous – are those Kendra Scott earrings?? I couldn't tell, but they look fab.
Grew up going to Florida. Naples is my favorite. I want to win the spa vacay!!!
The only time I went to Florida was for spring break in college. . .Key West. Something tells me there is a lot more to it! Great post. Loved the photos!
