spring break is in the books

well, the spring break of my junior year is in the books. and what a wonderful, couldn't have dreamt it to be any better spring break it was. mom and i flew to miami on saturday and boarded the ship on sunday. from there the phones were turned off and we sailed into the sunny horizon of the caribbean sea towards mexico and the bahamas. after a morning spent in the spa getting a much needed facial and hot stone massage, multiple naps by the pool, plenty of good food (and free ice cream 24-7), a walk through cozumel (mexico is not my favorite place), yoga on the beach at castaway cay and all the disney characters, it safe to say that mom and i had a great time. i am so lucky to have a mother who will take me on a cruise and one that i enjoy spending so much time with. i couldn't thank her more for everything she did for me on the cruise! it was truly the only way i would have wanted to spend my spring break!

i quite enjoyed dressing up in all my summery clothes for dinner so i made sure to document each outfit to share! some things i had saved to wear for the cruise and then other things were favorite outfits that deserved an encore!

tory burch linen tunic, lilly pulitzer white beach pants, dolce vita green heels, lilly pulitzer bangle 

j. crew top and shorts, kork-ease wedge sandals, kate spade necklace 

lilly pulitzer originals whit shift, tory burch sandals

lilly pulitzer print top, lilly pulitzer beach linen pants, jack rogers sandals

j. crew button down and linen skirt, kork-ease wedges, j. crew pineapple necklace

la roque shell, leona blue linen pants, tory burch sandals

lilly pulitzer knit sweater and linen skirt, j. crew orange tank, tory burch sunglasses and sandals 

kate spade shirt, j. crew pixie pants, tory burch reva flats, kate spade necklace

everything went absolutely perfect and mom and i both wore stretchy pants home if that tells you how good the food was. disney cruise line has spoiled me and i don't know if i could go on a different cruise line! daddy met us at the airport and we ate at a nashville favorite, taco mamacita's, for supper then it was home to phillip, stella and sapphire! this morning came early because phillip and i signed up for the Special Kids 5k! we ran on ally davis's team, who is a family friend with down syndrome and one of my favorite people. she is always smiling and cheering on her dad's team, the blue raiders! i finished third in my age group with a time of 27:03, which i was quite proud of since i hadn't run since the last 5k i ran in december! it was fun to run with phillip and also one of my best friends megan and kelsi, who i went to high school with. exercising for a good cause is always a fun thing!

unfortunately it is back to the real world tomorrow (and regular meals). i am headed back to knoxville and will be back home for easter! it hard to believe that there are only about 8 weeks left of this semester! where did the time go? today i am meal planning, unpacking to repack and target-ing. pretty much, today and tomorrow will be spent reorganizing my life! i couldn't have asked for a better spring break and am already looking forward to my next girls trip with my mama!
