Spring Break Trip to Florida

Like many over spring break I traveled to Florida. However, unlike most I went with my family and boyfriend. While in Naples,FL we did various things. I decided I would showcase some of the highlights of my trip!

Flying
We decided to fly to Florida instead of driving. Thank goodness! I have flown multiple times and absolutely love it. We flew through Allegiant airlines out of Rickenbacker International Airport in Columbus,Ohio into Punta Gorda Airport in Punta Gorda,Florida. The flight was only about two hours long and we didn’t have problems. Here are a few pictures from our travels.


Airboat Ride
On Monday, we traveled to the Everglades to take an airboat ride. It was incredible! We did our tour throughout the mangroves and grasslands with Captain Jack’s Airboat Tours. They were very fun and made my first airboat ride a truly great and memorable experience. On our trip we saw alligators and wild raccoons. The raccoons were so tame they even tried to climb onto the boat when we pulled up to them. Here are a few pictures that I took while on the tour.

The Beach

Going to the beach is one of my favorite parts about going to Florida. I love being able to look for shells, walk the beach and people watch while soaking in the sun. Watching the sun set was by far the best part. It was so great to be able to relax and see all God’s artwork. We visited several beaches around the Naples area. Below are various pictures taken while at the different beaches.




What are some of your favorite memories from your spring break trip or past vacations? These were some of mine. There are many more I would love to share but I will save those for another blog post! I would love to hear your vacation memories, so feel free to comment and share below!

    It looks like you had an eventful spring break! I have went to Florida many times but we have never been on an air boat. Maybe we will try that out on our next trip! Thanks for sharing!

Joys of Being Home

Image
Like many of you, I have been soaking in the sun and enjoying this great spring weather we have been having recently in Ohio. Coming from a small town, country background one of my favorite things to do is ride four-wheelers when the weather is nice. While spending this past weekend at home I was able to enjoy some much-needed time with family and friends. On Sunday I went with various friends back to the woods and creek. It was so great enjoying the fresh air and spending time with my friends that I hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks while being at school. I took for granted the relaxing atmosphere of my hometown while being at school. After being home I am so excited for spring to come and stay for good. Here are some pictures from the weekend! There are so many great things about being home. What are your favorite things to do when you visit home? I would love to hear what you do in your hometown.  I am a firm believer in where we come from sha...

Spring Has Sprung!

Image
I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo...

Vera Bradley Annual Outlet Sale

Image
Last Thursday I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Not really, but I was on very overjoyed and excited! I went to the annual Vera Bradley outlet sale in Fort Wayne,Indiana with my mom. For those of you that don’t know the Vera Bradley sale is held each year with large amounts of their products on sale. My mom had gone for the past several years and I was always so jealous and wanted to go but I couldn’t miss school because of softball. However, this year was finally my turn to go and experience the craze I had heard so much about. We arrived for our 11 a.m. session at 9:30 a.m. We wanted to make sure we had a decent spot in line to avoid a lot of the madness that was going to follow behind. Also by arriving early we could beat a lot of the long lines at checkout. While waiting in line Vera Bradley had various staff members encouraging us to use their hashtag and post pictures. Of course, my mom and I followed their instructions. There were prizes up for grabs! They al...
