    We recently visited Naples for a very short weekend for my birthday. While it was not what I was expecting, I did enjoy the area and the food!After a super short flight from ATL we reached our destination RSW airport. As far as airports go this is one of my favorites!

    Hilton Head Island! Our Go To Beach!

    08/12 /7 Comments

    Hilton Head Island is quickly becoming our go to beach. The drive is under five hours from the Atlanta area and our four year old does well.
