☀️ Week 40 of 52 🌊🐬☀️
Week 40 gets its own post because we went on VACATION! And not just any vacation…our 3rd annual Chincoteague getaway! ❤️
This trip was needed. Between demanding work schedules, everyday responsibilities, life doing what life does best, and the never ending lists of things to do, we were more than ready to step away from it all for a little while. And boy, did we appreciate every minute of it! 🥹✨
I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that the place we stay sits right on the water and we get to see DOLPHINS! 🐬🌊 How is that ever going to get old?! Every year, it feels just as special, and I will happily continue to be that person getting excited over dolphins every single time. 😂💙
This year brought plenty of rain 🌧️, but we were lucky enough to get some absolutely beautiful days, too! We explored more of the nearby towns, enjoyed the change of scenery, and gave ourselves permission to just BE for a little while. No rushing through the day, no constantly thinking about the next thing on the to do list, and no worrying about all the little things waiting for us back home.
Because let's be real, not every vacation is going to have perfect weather, perfect plans, or picture perfect moments. And that's okay! We still found ways to have fun, make memories, and enjoy being somewhere different together. ❤️
Sometimes you don't realize just how badly you need a break until you finally get one. This trip reminded me how important it is to step away from the everyday routine, slow down, and make room for the things that fill your cup back up. ☀️🌊
Three years of Chincoteague memories, and I'm already looking forward to the next one! 🐬🤍 Here's to finding the fun even when things don't go exactly as planned, appreciating the little moments, and remembering that life is meant to be lived. Not just checked off a to do list. ✨
