Devin & I love road trips. I think its fun to pack up & hit the road loaded down with snacks, a good playlist & some fun conversations. Last year we took the same trip to Destin, Florida with his parents, sisters & their families. Tips for a successful road trip according to me are: a fun scavenger hunt, lots of snacks & drinks (both healthy & junk...come on, it's vaca!) & a fun playlist. For the scavenger hunt....look here. I made a similar one up last year and just added to it this year. You can play with any number of people. Each person takes the same sheet, when you find the item yell it out & at least one other person has to verify. Then, write your initials in the blank. The person with the most initials when the hunt is filled up - wins! Too bad I lost AND Devin drove the whole way. #soreloser
Lots of snacks, & a fun playlist are next on the road trip essential list. Last year we each made a list of our top 10 favorite songs and played them for each other. Not that Devin doesn't love my choice of 90s rap, Britney Spears, or MJ...but I had to get creative for a new list idea this year. So instead, we took about 10 different genres (rock, rap, country, power ballad, etc) and picked a favorite song for each to play. This year's playlist was way more exciting & fun to guess which song belonged to each genre! Try it!
The week in Destin was great fun that included an amazing house on the beach, buckets of fresh seafood, oodles of family time & tons of "baby firsts" that I will tuck away in the scrapbook pages filling up in my brain. Below are some of my favorites from the week. I'm not much for posed pictures, but rather love snapping photos "in the moment." Burying feet in the sand, reading by the pool, a sunscreen-lathered beach baby...you get the idea.
We celebrated our baby's 1st Easter this weekend & what a weekend it was. A wonderful church service, Easter egg hunt & pastel colors galore. Into the mental scrapbook it goes. And this? I promise I didn't pose him. He just likes doing the 1990s 5th grade picture day pose. Just missing - those classy lazer backgrounds. Happy Spring, friends!
