30th Birthday Getaway!!!


Just got back from an awesome weekend away for my 30th!!!! It started Saturday morning the girls and the kids left for Palm Coast on the way of course we had to stop at a few community garage sales!!! We are addicted what can I say?? Found some good stuff then drove the rest of the way to Hammock Beach Resort. We LOVE this place! We stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary and its amazing!!!! Its right on the ocean, they have about 9 different pools, golf course, full spa, and multiple restaurants.




Once we checked in they gave us the keys to our villa (it's was a 3 bedroom/2 bath) and went to check it out and get suited up for the pool!



The first pool we went to was the biggest pool. It has waterfalls and a huge winding slide. We found chairs and let the kids get in, they had a ball swimming and chasing each other around the water. While they swam we watched them and fed the babies. Then we ordered frozen drinks. They had the BEST strawberry daquarris! After that we ordered lunch and they brought it right to our chairs by the pool! We were thinking this is the life!!! The kids ate while Mason took a nap and then we got in the pool with them.









It felt sooo good! Even though it's only April the pools are heated so it was the perfect temp. When Mason woke up I brought him in and he was very timid about the pool which surprised me because he LOVES being in the bathtub. He didn't want to leave his little spot right against my chest. After cuddling him a little while I was able to get him into the baby floater and he really liked it! Yay!



Pretty soon we had to leave that pool area because get this.... Someone pooped in the pool! Ewww! They evacuated everyone and we went to another pool which I thought was even prettier than the first one. It was a zero entry pool with the beachfront in the background and they had a big sand area too for the kids to play in.



After about 4 hours we decided to go back to the villa to let the kids relax a bit.

We had dinner at an Italian restraint at the resort. We got the food to go and ate outside and that was a disaster! It was super windy and cold and the food wasn't very good. We decided after that to go to their indoor pool. While we were there the guys arrived and then we finished at the pool, let the kids play in the courtyard and headed back to this viola for birthday cake from Cinottis! My favorite!!! Yummy!





The next morning it was time for our brunch cruise aboard a yacht called The Sundancer!!!


My mom and dad and good friend Alexa and her kiddos all met us down in Palm Coast that morning for the cruise. We were greeted with Mimosas and Bloody Mary's and this boat was gorgeous! The bottom floor had decks at both ends you could walk outside onto and in the middle they had the dining room area.







They had a delicious buffet brunch upstairs and I seriously think it was the best breakfast I have ever had!!!! So many selections eggs, potatoes, huge fruit platters, carving station, I mean everything! We enjoyed out meal and then headed outside to see the view and get a few pics.

Next we all went upstairs to the lounge area that had couches and comfy chairs and just relaxed, enjoyed the view and let the kids play. thus cruise was just amazing and I hope to go again one day!







Overall, I can't believe I'm 30! But I feel very blessed with where I am in life. I have an amazing husband who's also my best friend, two beautiful kids here on earth who bring me so much love and happiness every single day, and one sweet angel in Heaven, a job I enjoy, and the best friends and family anyone could ask for! The only thing I wish I could change is I wish that Tyler could be here too. I know I will see him again one day... Until then I will live life to the fullest and always do things to let him see from up above that he will never be forgotten. I hope the next 30 years will be as great as the past. 30! : )
