It’s my last day here at the lake.
{and that, sigh, is not a favorite}
So I’m going to share a couple of my favorite moments from the week.
And to celebrate vacation I asked several bloggers
to share some of their favorite vacation spots
as part of today’s {friday} favorites.
friday favorite things | finding joy
Enjoy and make sure to share yours as well!

My favorites?

Little boys eating Dum-Dum suckers

and multiple piles of floating contraptions

and the view

almost as if time is frozen

It’s been a good week.

Make that a great week.

and to celebrate vacation here are some favorite

“you have to love vacation”

from some other sweet blogger friends
their pictures and their words
beautiful.

Think of the Swiss Family Robinson.  Only without the wreckage part. 
My honey, my family and I sailed from islands to and fro all around the Atlantic.
From Tortola to Anegada, it was the trip of a lifetime.  There were seven of us on a 36 foot sailboat.  It was close quarters but it certainly added to the fun.
The trip was full of adventure and lots of joy.  We made memories that will last forever!

Spending all our time on the beach {which is San Elijo State Beach Campgrounds} 

getting dinner at the taco stand and desserts at the general store

watching the sun set into the ocean while we have s’mores around a bonfire

I adore spending quality time with my four favorite people..
.being able to have no schedule, eat delicious seafood, and soak up the sun.
It’s comforting that Destin is beginning to feel like a home away from home as we get more familiar with the area and find our “favorites.”

You just can’t beat this view!

We actually used to vacation in MN. Went up to a place called Roll-Inn Lodge. It was on Lake Mille Lacs Lake (had to look up the spelling).
Know that I’m continuing to pray!
Psalms 57:1-2 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

My favorite “vacation” would have to be when we went to Ethiopia to get our son. The purpose of the trip was obviously what made that trip!

my favorite vacation is probably every year going to lutsen/duluth with our family. It’s not so much that’s my favorite place to go, it’s that I love spending that precious time with my family. ♥
