Its hard to believe that the Hubs and I have been married for almost 2.5 years… and have never gone on a Honeymoon! Sad right? We’ve talked about it, even had something semi planned at one point, then life intervened and it didn’t happen.
We talked about heading to the gulf coast… but all the places that Hubs remembered going as a kid/young adult are tourist-y and expensive now. Not at all what we want! We want calm, peacefull, quality, friendly, and laid back … a place to completely unplug and just enjoy each others company.
I’ve been doing some research and I think I found the perfect place! And even though it’ll be a bit of a drive, the amazing views, the peacefull ocean and the chance to unwind with my favorite person would be totally worth it! What is this magical place I’m talking about? Its Gulf County, Florida!
What is so magical about Gulf County, Florida?
– 43 miles of natural beaches
– Pleanty of fishing options for the Hubby
– Seaside Bike Trails
– Beautiful white sand beaches perfect for sunset strolls
– Lots of Wildlife
– Beachside Horseback Riding <- SIGN ME UP!
It may seem surprising, in fact it kind of surprises me, but the idea of getting away comepletely is sooo appealing! In fact I’d even leave the lap top at home! I want a chance to unplug… if I can! I’ll admit, I might have to bring the iPad… you know so I can read books and stuff 😉 Sunset walks on the beach, afternoons fishing, coffee on the deck in the morning… none of those things require tecnology and I’d love to just leave the phone behind 🙂
I will definitely be bringing my camera though… There will be pictures! Lots and Lots and Lots of pictures! Especially at sunset! I mean, does it get any more perfect than this?

I got my #GCFLnofilter selfie in on instagram! I love a cup of tea and some reading in the back yard first thing in the morning… This morning I was dreaming of drinking my tea on the beach… Sigh!
I just need to talk to hubby, find some dates that work, and start counting down the days!
