MY SCENES FROM RIVIERA BEACH, FLORIDA...

{Where I pretty much spent 4-5 hours each day. Loved that towel!}

Hi there!! I'm back from my much-needed family vacation, where I took about 1,000 photos (no joke), so of course I want to some of them with you today! We went to Riviera Beach, FL, which is on the lower east coast of Florida. It's a small town that's a little north of Miami. We wanted to go somewhere a little off the beaten path of typical beaches, somewhere super nice, and somewhere that might not be all that crowded. This place was just that. I absolutely LOVED it. We stayed at the Marriott Oceana Palms resort, which was really, really beautiful. The people were lovely, the food was good (so good!) and the water was so blue - especially for the east coast. The daily routine was eat, sleep, beach, relax on the balcony - then repeat. Here is a little of what that looked like... Gosh I'd give anything to get this all back... :)

{More scenes from my daily trips to the beach. That bag worked out perfectly... }

{That beautiful water felt like a warm bath that you could just be in for hours... Swimsuit here... }

{The pool at the resort. The landscaping there was magical...}

{Dinner at a place called U Tiki Beach in Jupiter, FL was so so so good! I had that lobster roll - one that I'll be thinking of for quite some time. Super fresh.. }

{We went on a boat ride before dinner and the captain recommended this Surf-N-Turf roll with the hash brown gratin. So that's what everyone else at the table got. I swear that is the best gratin I've ever had in my life...}
