jmac + kmac: FLORIDA 2018 {the last, best day.}

Our last day in Florida was, undoubtedly, the BEST day of the whole trip. The weather was suddenly perfect, the beach was incredible, the kids were happy...and it was just one of those days that makes you never want to leave.

Just the best.

^Love these little beach bums!^

But let me back up.

When we first woke up, it was actually pouring rain. The clouds were dark, there was a chilly breeze, and we thought it was going to be kind of a bummer beach day.

So we hung out in the condo for a bit, and then headed to a local donut place that had RAVE reviews. And holy smokes.

IT WAS AMAZING.

^Looking out at the stormy weather^

^"Hey mom. I have a moose-tache."

^It was not looking too promising^

^Can you hear the angels singing???^

^Just a liiiiitttlle bit messy. Haha^

^Oh, brothers.^

^The after pic.^

Seriously though--they were some of the best donuts we've ever had. My favorite ones were the coconut and the filled key lime pie, and Jordan's favorite was the chocolate caramel.

I will probably dream about those donuts for the rest of my life. haha.

But anyways! After a fun breakfast, we went back to the condo and went swimming! The indoor pool was amazing, and we swam every single day we were there. It was the kids' favorite!!

^It was such a game changer to be able to swim with all of the kids in the pool with us! Usually I'm off on the side with a baby. Haha. It was so fun this time!^

^He was loving it!^

^My little fishy Cam!^

Then, wouldn't you know it, after we got back from swimming, the weather had completely turned a corner. The sun was out, the temperature was rising, and the day was shaping up to be BEAUTIFUL.

We were so excited to finally have one of the warm, sunny beach days like we'd had in past Thanksgiving trips!! Hallelujah. We ate a quick snack, and headed down to the beach to spend the rest of the day.

^Blue skies & warm weather!!^

^Crazy Cammers!^

^always wanting to be buried haha^

^snack monster^

^He found a crab claw and thought it was the coolest thing ever!^

^"SHE- SHELLS, momma!"^

^My favorite scene.^

^Cutie patootie^

^A whole sand dollar!^

After a long, perfect day at the beach, we were all STARVING. We ended up at Gulf Coast Burger Co., which was super yummy. The giant potato wedge fries were delish!!

On our way there, Brighton crashed hard, He had a long day in the sun! haha. But luckily he woke up like a champ, and wolfed down about twelve big fries and a few mini corn dogs. The boy can eat!

^still waking up. cutest boy ever^

^So good!^

^He totally cheesed on command for this picture. The cutest!^

Such a great day.
The next day we woke up bright and early, packed up the car, and headed back to Kentucky.
It's always so hard to come back to reality after a beach trip!!
