How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Palm Trees & Blue Skies! ~ WW

in Travel on 12/08/16

This morning my view looks like this.  Pinch Me.  As I sit in the warm tropical breeze at Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a little piece of heaves.  How could I not?  Paradise is literally right outside my patio doors.

There are palm trees and ocean views.  Warm pools an sandy paths.  Sunny skies and adventures to be had.  Today will be filled with paddle boarding, kayaking, jet-skiing, food eating and picture taking.  There will be swimming, laughing, and exploring,  Today is going to be a very good day.

Wishing you all a wonderful week and hope you are enjoying a little bit of paradise today.

Disclosure: I was provided a media trip in order to help facilitate my review. As always all opinions on this blog remain my own.

      Freezing rain, heavy snowstorms, arctic temperatures but no sand or sun where we live :).

      Oh – oh that’s breathtaking!

      I was in Mexico this time last year, and it was PARADISE. It was also surreal – sitting in a sundress on the patio after dinner, with a guitarist playing feliz navidad! 🙂

      I’ve been to Florida at least 30 times and have never made it to the Keys. It is on my travel bucket list for sure. The view looks amazing!

      Wishing for some of that heat today and to store up for the rest of the week when the minus double digits hit here.
