Dear Rosemary Beach, thank you for an amazing family vacation!

We loved everything about this adorable southern town from its sugar-white beaches to its fantastic restaurants to all the cute little families trying to do the same thing as us – relax and connect.  John mentioned several times that this place felt like we were on the set of The Truman Show.  Come to find out the film was shot just a few miles from where we were.  It was a wonderful place to soak in some southern charm.  The only downside was the tropical storm that rolled in and dumped more rain in 5 days than Utah sees in a year, seriously.  Charlotte didn’t care a bit.  She loved walking in the rain, building sandcastles, and getting mermaid lessons from her mom (when the double red flags weren’t out of course).

The 4th of July looked a bit different than we had pictured but it was wonderful nonetheless.  All in all, I’ll take any opportunity to have seven days away as a family come RAIN or shine.  We are definitely going to give Rosemary Beach another chance.  We all needed a few more sand castles, beach cruising, oh and a tan y’all.
