...and we finally arrived in paradise.








after a family road trip complete with subs for breakfast, scenery too beautiful to be real, huge milkshakes for lunch, lots of puppy cuddling, stopping at our favorite produce stand and being thoroughly thrilled to see christmas decorations in place of the usual summery toys, we have arrived at our beach house... my personal paradise.

this is the place i have spent every summer since birth, the place my grandparents and parents honeymooned, the place i learned to ride a bike, and the place that has millions of memories that completely capture the epitome of my childhood. i plan on making memories here for the rest of my life... it is one of my favorite places in the world, and i am so happy to be here for thanksgiving with all the people i love.

Oh I love the pictures! I was just saying how cool a "real" Christmas tree place would be! Instead of the ones we get shipped here to FL! So lovely! Have a great Thanksgiving with your family! :)
