Another Fabulous Weekend

Well, my husband, our 12 year old, and I headed back to Flagler Beach this past weekend (April 28-29) for a short overnight stay. We once again stayed at our most favorite place- Flagler Beach Vacation Rentals. And once again it was a great experience. I found this little beachside motel while driving around one weekend. It was cute and looked clean. So we pulled in and asked about it and checked out the rooms and we were impressed. The "motel" which is more like a suite/efficiency apartment, had just reopened from being renovated. EVERYTHING is brand new!!! It is so cute and I am so glad we found it that day!! It offers a nice size pool too. For more information on Flagler Beach Vacation Rentals, visit my Squidoo Lens where I have lsited ALL details about this motel. It is very detailed and gives you all the info you should need. Follow this link...... www.squidoo.com/flaglerbeachflorida

Ok so back to our weekend- Our 15 year old chose to stay home this time- ya know because we're just not cool enough for him to hang with anymore. Gotta love teens :( So we headed out around 9am.....which is way too early for me! I am NOT a morning person. Even though it's only a 2 hour drive for us (we live in N. Central Florida) we didn't get there until around 12 or so. We checked in to our motel and then headed down to the beach- which is only a few steps away. We played some paddle ball, swam a little bit, watched a few dolphins play, soaked up some sun and just enjoyed a few hours of waves crashing ashore.

We headed back to the motel and chilled at the swimming pool for about an hour or so. We had so much and the water was nice and cool. After that we started heading to my brothers house (who lives in Palm Coast so right down the road). As we were about to turn on his road he called and said he wasn't home :( Maybe if he'd answer his phone once in a while we'd of known that.....gotta love little brothers! So we turned around, went back to the motel and got showers and decided it was time for some dinner.

We headed to our favorite spot- High Tides at Snack Jack. While we were waiting on our seats (I ALWAYS choose to eat outside on the porch) me and my son walked down the steps to the beach and searched for some seashells. Which you can find many in that area because it is kinda deserted and there's not many people taking all the good shells.

After about 15 minutes (that was quick) we were called to our seats andput in our order. This time around I chose the fried shrimp......which was a first. Can you delish!!!! Oh my goodness, it was the BEST shrimp I have ever eaten!! I also got the cole slaw that is amazing and the hushpuppies too. Oh and they have the best tea! Hubby and son chose the wings once again. And of course I smagged about 4 of them and they're also delish- dipped in ranch dressing of course! We got to watch the beautiful sun set behind us while sitting on the back porch enjoying our fabulous food! I can't say enough GOOD things about this restaurant. You can also read about Snack Jack on my Squidoo Lens- I told you it's all about Flagler Beach :D SO run now and check it out......well wait until you're done reading this forever long blog post. hehe

Once we left Snack Jack, we headed to my brother's, who has now decided to come home. My 12 year old was on my last nerve about going over there.....he loves him some uncle Robbie! So we chatted on the back porch until about 12:30 and decided to head back to the Flagler Beach Motel. BUT wait.....we get to the front lawn and chatted some more and the next thing we know it's after 1am. My son decided to stay the night with his cousins.....so it was just me and hubby time. Phew, he is snoring 30 seconds after his head hits the pillow! What a fun guy ;) I sit up until about 2am (yes I am a night owl) and decided I needed my beauty sleep so I think I fell asleep with the TV on.

The next morning my wonderful husband awoke around 10am and he got all the stuff packed up while I lay in the comfy bed and slept until 10:30. We headed to Burger King and got some lunch and then headed back down to the beach to meet my brother and his family (and my son of course). We just hung out at the beach all day playing paddle ball, football, and trying to drown the kids....no not really :D The water felt so great and it was like 90 degrees that day so we all got some sun.
We left around 4 and headed to the Flagler Pier to rinse off, change clothes and thend ecided to head to one of our other favorite eateries at Flagler Beach- Rocky's Pizzeria. M-M-M good!!! We got pizza and soda and once our belly's were full we started heading home :( Oh and guess what? YOU can read all about Rocky's on my Squiddo Lens. I told you it's all there :D By the way Rocky's has the best pizza!! But next time I am going to try some lasagna.

Well that's about it for that trip. There's definitely more to come because like I said we visit there often!!
