Hello, dear friends. The Mister and I spent a most delightful beach weekend with Sista, BIL, our sweet Nefs, and their darling fur babies. We celebrated Sista's 75th birthday.
Sista and her family rented a beautiful home for three months in Rosemary Beach, Florida. We had heard many wonderful things about this area from Sista, as well as our #1 and Adorable Jonathon. They have vacationed there a couple of times and fell in love with the area. As a matter of fact, Adorable Jonathon popped the question a couple of towns away in Seaside.
The house is magnificent.
Plenty of room and so tastefully decorated.
Lovely pool, too!
One of the many great features of this house is that it has two master bedrooms.
Our first stop was lunch al fresco at la Crema.
This is Sista's rescue, George Clooney, who was named after my first husband. Wiley, the Goldendoodle, is next to him.
Sista and her family take the fur babies everywhere, including most restaurants. It's a very dog-friendly town.
Cheers to the weekend!
After lunch, Sista and I burned some calories getting in some retail therapy.
Darling nefs!
BILs!
The first night we had dinner at Sista's favorite restaurant, Pescado, which is minutes away from their home away from home. Not only was the food fabulous, but it has the most stunning views of the sunset.
The next morning, the Mister and I were up early, so we decided to hit Amavida. The rich coffee hit the spot, and the people watching was topnotch.
The rental was within walking distance of great shopping and lots of restaurants. This is another beautiful home in the 'hood.
Many of the houses featured glass lanterns, which are my fave.
This is the Pearl Hotel, which was a contender for our royal wedding.
Speaking of weddings...
Back at the ranch where the Mister was perusing Real Estate listings.
Btw... he fell head-over-heels in love with Rosemary Beach.
We spent the morning with Sista, who gave us a stupendous grand tour of the surrounding areas. This is the beach in Seaside, where Adorable Jonathon asked my girl that life-changing question.
Isn't this pretty?
I love the greenery on the fence.
Along with great restaurants, Seaside offers fun food trucks, as well.
This darling book store was packed!
Go Indies!!
After our grand tour, we met the rest of the family for lunch a George's at Alys Beach. Since the restaurant was named after him, we felt it only fitting that George Clooney should sit at the head of the table. Wiley, their Goldendoodle, sat to his right.
Birthday girl!
She looks relatively good for 75!
Here, the Mister is filling George in on our two hooligans.
This is Wiley and George's happy place.
Rosemary Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen!
The sand is so fine!
Perfect for long walks or playing fetch.
Have I mentioned that Wiley is also a lap dog?
Hopefully, this Summer she will meet her cuz Chowdah.
We spent our last evening at Amici, on Inlet Beach.
Another fabulous night to top off the memorable weekend!
Until next time...
