Traveling Tote Adventures
and a Giveaway
Welcome to another adventure of Tales of the Traveling Tote. This is where my fellow Tales of the Traveling Tote friends and I share our latest travels, projects and our most current events. You will have an opportunity to visit other members at the end of this post and learn about our giveaway.
My favorite place to be beachside is
somewhere, anywhere along scenic Highway 30A in the panhandle of Florida's emerald coast. Jim and I look forward to a spring getaway and this year we enjoyed a weather perfect week mid-March with mild temperatures and lots of sunshine.
Trips here in the past find us in a beach house, townhouse or condo. This trip we were beachfront in a condo with million dollar views. My sister and brother in law drove down from Atlanta to join us. Come along while I share some of my favorite places along this Florida coastal hideaway.
A previous drawing my sister did of me
happy to be by the shore
Loving this beach house where we were guests with my sister and brother in law on several occasions. When we are in the neighborhood we always drive by to see the new homes
Seagrove
Next to the pool and only steps to the beach. The Grove by the Sea. My favorite beach houses!
Seaside
A favorite food at the beach is blackened grouper
Served up at one of my favorite restaurants in
Seaside. Everything is always as you remember.
And known for their key lime pie
And right next to Great Southern Cafe is my favorite beach bookstore
Sundog Books
I chose a few books from the shelves for beachside relaxing
For a leisurely stroll, lunch and shopping, a great spot is Baytown Wharf at San Destin
Clay Gardens and Gifts
I love to visit this local garden and gift shop. Spring is a great time to visit for ideas and inspiration. 
Rosemary Beach and a little shopping
Alys Beach
The striking architectural features of this town are traditional Bermuda brilliant-white homes. Featured with pathways and courtyards only a short walk to the beach
Miss Courtney held my MacKenzie-Childs Berries and Blossoms set for a pretty spring table setting. I mixed it with the white beach theme set in the condo
Love the "waves" in the glassware
