Last week I jetted off to The OC for a quick couple days of business meetings. While it was certainly a work trip, it sure was nice to hang with the sunshine, palm trees, and Mickey for minute. On the last evening, we took the short walk from our hotel to Disneyland – KID FREE! While of course there’s nothing more magical than experiencing Disney through the eyes of a child, there is something pretty darn sweet about going with no agenda. No pressure. No hight restrictions. Flying home the next morning (Friday the 13th!), our plane darted around some pretty severe storms in NW Arkansas. It was one time I was thankful for no cell service because turns out, a tornado was touching down in a nearby town at the exact same time we were landing. Needless to say, it felt extra good to get home safely that night.

Now I get to turn my attention to our next travel adventure – our Rosemary Beach, Florida trip! This will be our fifth annual May trip to Rosemary and we are thrilled to be going with our same friends as last year. Now that Iris is older, it really is fantastic for her to have another kid her age to play with all week. We lucked out this year and scooped up a beach house that is actually ON the beach. We leave in just over two weeks and I seriously cannot wait. This trip always feels like the true transition from spring to summer, which by the way is my most favorite season of them all. I’m just ready for sunshine, even if Mickey isn’t around.
