Palm Beach Florida



We are back from sunny Palm Beach Florida. We really had a great vacation. The week went fast, but we were able to squeeze in loads of fun and a lot of rest and relaxation. I know this is a food blog, but I am going to share some of my vacation photos anyways. Sorry if I bore you! 

We stayed in West Palm Beach at the Ocean Pointe Marriott Resort. It was fantastic! Our room had a full kitchen, living area, king bed, jacuzzi, etc. There was also a nice fitness center, 4 pools, hot tubs, and great access to the ocean. 


Taking in the Florida sun! We were spoiled with perfect weather, minus the humidity:) 


Enjoying the Atlantic Ocean! 

We visited a Wild Life Sanctuary. We watched the alligators and turtles eat dinner. Dead rats and chickens. Kind of gross, but fun to watch! 

Pretty Bird!! 

Our late night stroll on the beach. Yes, Josh wore his head lamp:)


We drove into Miami one afternoon. We visited the beach and walked around. It's an interesting city! 

More beach time. I was too chicken to get in, but Josh enjoyed the water. 


We went to Delray Beach one evening. Very nice beach and area. 


We stopped and took pictures at a Lighthouse. 


We really enjoyed our time in Palm Beach. Thanks to Ben and Whitney for coming with us. It was a lot of fun. Florida, we miss you, but it is nice to be home! I will be back with something tasty soon!

  30. So fun! I am so glad you got to go on such a fun trip, but I am a bit jealous. We could use a trip like that. Having our first child was the best thing, but it sure changes things. I look forward to your next recipe. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind adding my humble blog to your fantastic blog. I would be so grateful. Thank you!
