Seashells in the Snow {Assateague & Chincoteague in Winter}

| Allison

Our first real family vacation with a baby is in the books! It was fun, exhausting, and VERY COLD. We stayed on Chincoteague Island and visited a beach on Assateague as well. It was beautiful but of course quite windy and frigid – and I have now seen snow on a beach! We actually had to postpone our trip a day because of the incoming snowstorm. Enjoy these pretty seashore pictures and a little travel journal recap of our trip at the end.

Hello friends!

We’re back from a lovely vacation to the Outer Banks! Sully and I had a wonderful time walking beaches and going for long drives along the Sound, despite chilly weather. Of course I took heaps of photos I can’t wait to share with you. 🙂

I’m splitting the pictures into two very long posts: one for the beachy scenery today, and one for other miscellaneous photos and adventures next week. So for now, enjoy these beautiful landscapes!

Hello friends!

This last post in the vacation series is going to be more of a travel diary, documenting memories throughout the whole trip rather than being a collection of pretty photos from one or two days. Read on for Sully’s mushroom shirt, a beach family photoshoot, an erupting volcano, donuts and grape juice, and a tale of The Great Plague.

Family Beach Vacation, Part 3 {Sea Storms & Sunrises}

| Allison

Hello friends!

At Vero Beach, Sully and I witnessed a dramatic storm over the ocean – SO cool. A few days later, some of our group watched a sunrise over the water together. Both landscapes were epic, so obviously I needed a separate post for all the photos I took. 🙂 I also included a bonus sunset + beachy morning light pictures.

Enjoy these sensational views!
