FRIDAY FAVORITES..VACAY PART 1...WITH KIDS

Happy Friday. We were so blessed to have two of our boys and their lovely ladies with us for vacation even if it was just for the first few days. Our other son who had moved to Baltimore a couple months ago as you may remember was so bummed that he and his girl could not be there. Hoping to have all 6 next year!

1. Beach

Since our condo is right on the beach, of course there are going to be beach days! Day one was the perfect day out there!

Swim Top HERE (I loved it)

2. St. Ambrose Cellars

Mr. Nine and I discovered this place a couple years ago and it is the neatest outdoor brewery and winery with the big red barn showcasing live music. It also has great spots for photo opps.

3. Parade

Finally! The past two years, the 4th of July parade was canceled due to Covid and road construction! While it wasn’t quite as big as it has been in years past, this is one of my favorite things in our favorite town!

4. Italian and Ice cream Night

The night of the Fourth of July, we had a lovely Italian meal at a new Italian restaurant in town and afterwards we went to an ice cream shop that we walked by gazillions of times and had never been in it all these years! What were we thinking, the Scoop is just adorable!

next week..entire loo under $75!

I was hoping #5 would be Fireworks. Sadly, the fireworks got rained out and our kids had to leave the morning of the fifth. Mr. Nine and I watched them that night, but it just wasn’t the same.

Here we are ..sad after they left

FRIDAY FAVORITES...IN SUMMER STYLE

It appears that many have checked out of blog reading heading into the holiday weekend and in the thick of sweet summer and I really don’t blame them! BUT I have had so many cute summer styles that I had to share just in case you need or want some inspo!! HAPPY HOLIDAY WEEKEND friends!!

1. CROCHET TOP/COVER-UP

The cutest Crochet Cover-Up Top. Looks great just with a tank top underneath and comes in several colors.

2. LINEN DRESS

I am so happy the brand Beach Lunch Lounge is at Walmart! I used to get pieces and Nordstrom but now do much more affordable. This Linen Dress is a dram, so cool and comfy and only $24!

3. WHITE TOP & DENIM SHORTS

Oh, This TOP. Oh, These SHORTS!! So summer cute and fresh! And the Bette Sandals from Oka-B are great too!

4. ROMPER
I searched high and low for a modest black shorts romper. Tried 2 from more expensive brands but This Amazon One was the BEST! So soft and I can even a regular bra underneath.

So, for today’s link up, I’m bringing you my all-American girl baby doll dress! This darling striped, lined and comfortable dress is from the Mint Julep Boutique, that you know I adore! All their pieces are perfect, and I love that the colors in this are kind of muted so you can wear it beyond the holidays!
