The cure for Spring Fever.

It's cold here in the Midwest.  Snowy, grey, and gross ... normal for winter around here.  Snow quickly loses it's appeal after Christmas, yet St Louis was lucky enough to get eight inches this week.  Hooray.  I am so ready for spring.

Thankfully, Mr LikesIt and I have some relief from the season to look forward to.


Gorgeous Seaside, Florida.  We finally booked our first mini-moon trip and I could not be more excited.  We have been there once before, for a wedding, and it is just beautiful.  One of the most picturesque little towns you'll ever see.  There's a sweet little town square, yummy restaurants, quaint little shops, and of course, a beautiful white sand beach.

If it looks familiar, it's for good reason.

The Truman Show was filmed in Seaside.  It's that picture-perfect.

We've rented a little beach house with an ocean-view for a long weekend of relaxing.  Temps there in February range in the 60s and 70s, not laying-on-the-beach warm, but certainly better than St Louis.  We'll be close to the town square, so renting bikes and taking walks on the beach are definitely in our future.  There will also be plenty of wine, reading, napping, and brunching.  We fell in love with the area when we were there before, so we're both really looking forward to going back. 
First mini-moon is officially set!  Hopefully the first of many travels together!

  2. AHHH! I've been there. It's gorgeous.. I went with my family years ago and we rented a 4 person bike and rode around town. It was really fun. I remember there were always plays and such going on downtown. Have a blast!

  5. Be sure to walk down to Watercolor, it neighbors Seaside (and is within walking distance). It's a cute little "town," too. Great wine bar, too. And, try the Great Southern Cafe while your there. Ah, yes, and the cute little food trucks! Love!
