Vacation Photo Diary

Sometimes you just need to get away, and that’s precisely what we did. Pete and I joined our friends Whitney and Keith, loaded up the car and made the 12-hour trek south the Thursday before last for a welcomed vacation. @biscuithome paint wall

First stop once we got into Houston, the #biscuitpaintwall. Okay, technically our first stop was Whataburger for breakfast, but that’s not nearly as exciting. If you haven’t been, it’s a great photo-op outside the cutest home goods boutique, Biscuit Home!

After spending the night with our friends Sydney and Mark, the six of us made our way to Galveston to hop on a cruise bound for Mexico.  As for the rest of the trip….resort lifewhat to expect on a carnival cruisecozumel, mexicoWe spent two days off the ship, one in Progreso and the other in Cozumel – both offered up blue water and blue skies for days.

  7. Love this post! What a cute idea to do a photo diary! Saw the Marysia swimsuit. I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger. Do they run small? Have a great weekend!

      By far the best swimsuit I’ve ever owned. I got so many compliments on the quality! They run SUPER small. I got a large in bottoms and a medium in the top. I hope that helps! Enjoy the weekend ahead, Amanda 🙂
