South Seas Island Getaway

For our 8th Anniversary Eric and I planned a trip away to Captiva Island, FL.  We had not really done any trips like this since our honeymoon so we were super excited.  We booked Grammy and Pops a few months out and decided 3 nights and 4 days was probably the longest we could be away from the boys.  The resort we chose was called South Seas Island Resort.  It was a family friendly place and we definitely would like to take the boys in a couple years when Lincoln is a bit older.  Our main goal of vacation was to basically relax on the beach or by the pool, enjoy some nice dinners out, and just spend time with each other without distraction.  The weather was great everyday and the gulf water felt awesome.  The resort provided umbrellas and chairs so it did not feel overly hot despite 90 degree temperature days.  Two of the mornings we rented paddleboards.  It was the first time trying for both of us and we really enjoyed it.  We enjoyed lots of great seafood for dinner and I probably had the best salad of my life on the last night out.  It was the perfect little getaway for us.  The boys did great with Grammy & Pops and we were so grateful to them for helping out.  Here are some pics from our trip....
