we were born and raised in a summer haze.

i'm back from the beach loves!

i have finally gotten some time in from unpacking, work, and seeing my long lost friends to blog!

it has also taken a very long time to upload and edit the 797 freeking photos i took down there, plus edit and upload all of the ones i wanted to put on here.

so i just got back from the two weeks down in daytona beach florida. my family goes every year, and since i just graduated my parents thought two weeks would be a nice treat... which it was.i brought my boyfriend, whom i had such an unbelievably amazing time with. we did a lot of tanning on the pool deck, swimming in the pool, and of course playing in the ocean and in the sand. tyler and i are like little kids when it comes to the sand. we love to dig for creatures and build castles. we also went to this awesome "ocean walk" which had lots of restaurants, shops, and of course starbucks, that we visited frequently. we went to the wizarding world of harry potter with my amazing cousins one day.i absolutely fell in love. it was literally like walking into their world which i happen to kindof be obsessed with). and the ride within the castle was the most unbelievable thing i have ever experienced. we did a lot of shopping. i literally spent all of my graduation money (oh well). so i have a lot of posts lined up for the things i bought. but i mean we didn't do too much except relax and enjoy the atlantic, which i think is an amazing way to spend a vacation.

so here are some pics!

this was from out first night out.

we also brought gemma (my most precious beloved pup). so one day we had to take her to the beach. she absolutely hated it. she hates water in the first place, it was too darn hot, and she hated being all sandy. she's very prissy.

i love my handsome boy.

so my henna tatt wore off in about a week, and when i saw this unicorn airbrush tattoo i had to get it for my dear love for and obsession with lady gaga. i thought it was a pretty neat tattoo.

out last day on the beach.
