Travel Stop: Cocoa Beach

Florida is full of amazing beach stops, when we are in town we try to hop around to different beaches in search of the best. Cocoa Beach was our beach choice of the week. It’s a pretty touristy beach but we of course had a great time. We started out the trip at Coconuts Bar and Grill. It’s a pretty famous little spot for beach goers. It has the perfect view of the ocean too. We started out with bacon wrapped scallops, which were fantastic. Then each had different wraps as a meal, I topped mine off with a strawberry

Where Are the Monkeys?! Ocala National Forest

Sometimes you just have to get in the car and drive without having any direction in mind. I’m a firm believer in spontaneity and luckily I’m dating someone who enjoys flying by the seat of her pants as well. While dating long distance, Megan and I, planned weekend adventures each time we visited one another. Well on this particular day we both wanted to go somewhere we had never been to in Florida. We only had a few hours, so we couldn’t go far… “Hey, I have an idea, let’s go hiking!” “Ok, so where are the closest hiking trails

There’s Still Sand in My Ear: 5 Excuses to Not Live by the Beach

The beach is my happy place. I could explore it for hours; days even and never get tired of it. I used to think that if I lived on the beach that I would end up hating it. What a foolish thought. Andrew turned to me the other day and said “isn’t it so cool to live somewhere, where people vacation.” I mean literally in the middle of everyone else’s utopia is home. I hear a lot of negatives from people about the beach sometimes. It weirds me out. Here’s my favs: It’s too hot. No, the snow is too

Do We Really Have Control?

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “everything happens for a reason”. I have never put much thought into that quote until I realized that some things that happen are really out of our control. Negative things may even happen for a greater reason than can be foreseen at the present moment. As most of you know Megan’s lung collapsed two days before we were supposed to fly to Mexico. To say we were bummed about not going to Mexico would be an understatement. We both still had a week off from work so I flew to Kentucky to be with

Why Trip Number One Isn’t in the Stars for Us

Sometimes life just happens. And sometimes it happens in a really big scary, why the hell is this happening to me kinda way. So I’m sitting at work planning which dresses to bring to Mexico. And which hiking shoes. And why I don’t have the perfect black bathing suit top yet. Or my perfect big sun hat. When I’m leaving in TWO DAYS! And suddenly it hit me.

Because Who Wouldn’t Want to Buy Their Own Island?

So I’m spending my typical Saturday watching House Hunters Caribbean (because it reminds me of warmer days and sunshine, oh and perfect houses) and they are selling islands here. Like legitimate islands. Whoa. I want one, sign me up. So I’m thinking wait, is there really a market for buying islands.

We could make that work, right Andrew? So without further ado here
