The Traveling Tote Adventures ~ Number Six
Being a lover of all things MacKenzie Childs, I jumped at the chance to own one of their large tote bags, a very beautiful and functional bag that I use when I travel as well as errands around town. My sweet friend Sarah at HFTS shared the fun of the Traveling Tote girls with me and I am happy to say I will be joining in on their adventures. This is the sixth in the series and my first. Visit Patti at Pandora’s Box to see how it all began and be sure to read below to see how you can have a chance to win a fabulous gift.
Come along on my beach getaway and meet Miss Courtney Childs.
My husband and I recently enjoyed a getaway to the beach to visit our son and daughter-in-law and attend a program our grandson was in at school. Of course I couldn't wait to pack my new tote! The beach is always a favorite destination, one of many I plan to carry Miss Courtney along on. The weather was beautiful, chilly for the beach so no sunning or swimming. Please join me as I hit a few of my favorite haunts along Hwy 30A!
Beach Photos, Seaside, FL
It didn't take Miss Courtney long to find the path to the beach!
The Beautiful Gulf of Mexico
Not many sun lovers out on this chilly and breezy morning
Perfect timing for a morning walk
How I love the feel of sand beneath my feet
Need a pick-me-up after a walk?
After my walk it was time for a little retail therapy
Great Southern, a favorite place to have lunch
Blackened Grouper, can only find it like this at the Gulf!
Miss Courtney only wanted the famous Key Lime Pie.
Sundog Books
my favorite beach bookstore
You'll find great beach reads and more
A colony of shops, antiques, art and gifts
Ruskin Place Artist Colony
I love this spot, a great place to visit and sit anytime but especially when is is so hot in the summer, trees provide a canopy of shade.
Miss Courtney carried back a few gifts, cards, magazines and books. A great debut for Miss Courtney Childs…..
It was great to spend time with our family while enjoying beach life. Connor's school program was so much fun with students dressing as historical characters while giving a speech. Thanks Connor, Papa and I enjoyed your program!
