It's all in the details

Looking back at the photos from our trip, I was struck by all the little details.  The details that cement the sweet memories in my mind.  Especially while travelling, the smallest detail can mean so much and make a visitor feel so welcome!

Our favorite details:
3 cousins playing in the sand
 huddling under a cabana in an unexpected rain-shower 
the twins playing the lively xylophone music on the boardwalk
sandy little feet
the waiter tending tables by the sea
seashells and hibiscus flowers decorating beach tables
the majestic boat bobbing in the turquoise water
the magenta begonias that decorate island beverages
the iguana that greets visitors by suprise
mysterious red berries hanging from the palm tree
crunchy tortilla chips, guacamole and limey pico de gallo
all the folks that enjoyed talking about their kids with us

Nautical

We recently had the pleasure of vacationing on a large boat of sorts.  I had a wonderful time dressing the girls in nautical colors.  There is something so wonderfully classic about deep reds, navy blue and crisp white mixed with natural wood and the cobalt blue of the ocean.
