I need to add this to my life. <br /><br />My family (mom, brother, sister-in-law, nieces, nephew, aunts, cousins, uncles, etc) went to Seaside, Florida about 5 years in a row. I joined for one. I think it's awesome that you found a slice of heaven for you and your family to gather and relax.Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744003004126232764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-22481089494035941702015-07-08T21:16:06.406-04:002015-07-08T21:16:06.406-04:00I love these pictures (especially all of the gorge...I love these pictures (especially all of the gorgeous beach shots)! I've never gotten up just to watch the sun rise. I've stayed up until the sun rose plenty of times, but I'm not a morning person at ALL. <br /><br />The food also looks delicious, and I'm jealous of your week of complete relaxation. I want a week to do nothing but read and look at beautiful scenery!

It's great to be able to be in full relax mode, unplug and forget about work sometimes, That was even hard for me in Vegas with checking 3 different emails (work, blog, personal) and not worrying about crap.
