Anyone daydreamin’ about a beach??
ME! ME!
We are off to Florida in ONE WEEK! Woo-Hoo! Bring on the sun, the sand, the smell of the ocean, the calm of the water……. I love taking my kids to the beach – we find it to be a great time of bonding.
Especially when it comes to building sandcastles.
A few summers ago, while visiting Port Aransas, Texas, we hired a “sandcastle guy” to teach us how to build a great sandcastle. We had such a fun time learning all the proper methods and using the right tools and ended up building a beautiful sandcastle that day.
Now, when we go to the beach, we pull some of those very same tactics out to build our creations. And while they may never be the same caliber as our “sandcastle guy”, we have a blast making them, and that’s what counts, right?
Tell us what you are daydreamin’ about today by posting a picture of your favorite vacation spot, tell us a bit about it and link up below! I can’t wait to see!

Well now, I never knew there were “sandcastle guys” out there. Sounds like a fun job. Been a long time since I made a sandcastle — you’ve inspired me to go to the beach… soon!

So jealous! Yes, I’m dreaming of the beach 🙂 In the meantime, I’m sharing my kayaking impressions with you. Not quite the beach, but lots of fun.

Now I’m dreamin’ of the beach too because the weather in Vancouver has been *blah* this month. It’s been officially dubbed Junuary. I hope you have fun and sun in Florida!

How fun! I didn’t know about sandcastle guys and lessons either. Will need to seek them out next time. I’m always dreaming of the beach. Have a wonderful time in Florida.

I could definitely use his help! Hope you have lots of fun in FL, Becca!
Jenna says
Fun! I need to do that with my kids the next time we are at the beach. I love that you guys were using such big buckets!

Have a fabulous time in Florida! I’m dreaming of a beach today too…a little less sandcastles, a little more napping in the hammock!;-)
