{Carillon Beach: Memorial Day Week}

We've vacationed at just about known community along 30A/Hwy 98, I can honestly say Carillon Beach community has been my favorite. A mile of private beach access makes this gated community the best vacation spot for family. Even on a holiday week, there was only one row of beach chairs. Divine relaxation and plenty of room the family to just enjoy the beach.

The picturesque neighborhood made the perfect backdrop for some family pictures. Hooray for our cameras self timer. Feeling patriotic in our red, white and blue outfits.

 These two are growing up way too fast.
A good part of our days were spent at the beach. We are that family who stays in morning to dusk. With our packed lunch and sunscreen we are good to go. I am thankful to have beach loving kids.
The boys boogie board a lot and caught great waves.This beach trip also reminded me how much William has grown. He was very confident being around the ocean and can pretty much jump to break the waves.
We played a lot in the sand and had digging our way to China.
Rock on!
A family morning jog at the beach.


Samantha has mastered the art of relaxation with a lil meditating at the beach and lounging at our beach chair.
We stayed at one of the condos at downtown Carillon beach, convenient to all the activities around the area, and still within 5 mins of walk to the beach.The night we came in, there was a wedding in the square. We had dinner at the balcony and enjoyed "free" live music from the band. It was awesome! This gift shop Shipwreck was right below our condo and was full of cool treats and toys.
They also had a screen on the green one night. They were showing Alladin. Samantha fell asleep early that night. William asked me to be his date at the movies.
During summer, they have concert at downtown Carillon. After a full day at the beach, we were too exhausted to go  downstairs (Lazy bums). Our condo's great location allowed us to still enjoy the music and had dinner at our balcony.
I think we dined at the balcony just about everyday. They opened a new Donut Hole shop near our condo, so we picked up some donuts from breakfast one morning.
Pier Park was near Carillon, the kids loved checking out all the knick knacks stores. William was amused with his first trip to Ron Jon.
A lil Italian ice treat for the kiddos.
A grown up treat for Mommy.
Another awesome beach trip for our family. We look forward to our annual vacation at the beach.
