How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Palm Trees & Blue Skies! ~ WW

in Travel on 12/08/16

This morning my view looks like this.  Pinch Me.  As I sit in the warm tropical breeze at Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a little piece of heaves.  How could I not?  Paradise is literally right outside my patio doors.

There are palm trees and ocean views.  Warm pools an sandy paths.  Sunny skies and adventures to be had.  Today will be filled with paddle boarding, kayaking, jet-skiing, food eating and picture taking.  There will be swimming, laughing, and exploring,  Today is going to be a very good day.

Wishing you all a wonderful week and hope you are enjoying a little bit of paradise today.

      What a dream come true this vacation would be for my family. We could really use that kind of relaxation after all the stress of the holidays!

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
