Spring break | Gulf Shores

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” ~ Anais Nin

6:45 a.m. Raced down the beach to catch the perfect sunrise!

Two years ago, I spotted this dreamy green beach house on our last day … serendipitously, this spring break, our beach home was right next door. Still DREAMY.

The private side ~ natural dunes, conservation, peace and beauty.

I discovered I have a real addiction to Krispy Kreme doughnuts. We went through 5 boxes (of a DOZEN) in one week, and I’m quite sure I ate most of them. But as Adam Levine would sing, “I need a little sweetness in my life.”

Daily walks through this lovely seaside with pup.

Looking for delicious Mexican food at Gulf Shores? Go to Cactus Cantina Mexican Grill. DELISH.

*Birdspotting*

We saw dolphins almost every day!

Good morning, SUNSHINE!

The moment my feet dug into the white sand and felt the wave of cold, ocean water, I was home. A few favorite memories from last week…

“Don’t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, but don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in awhile and go out for coffee or climb in bed with your journal. Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep traveling honestly along life’s path.” — found | instagram @2Rtist

Ending our lovely weekend with brunch and mimosas at the Cheesecake Factory. // INCRED 30th Anniversary cheesecake!

There are moments when you need to get away. Rediscover yourself, try something new, just enjoy the moment. I am fortunate to be with a guy who understands this, and this getaway was HIS idea and gift — for four lucky ladies and one, very special one. GIRLS {Beau} I hope you remember the good times, laughs & smiles, and enjoyed every moment. xoxo Ren
