Our new, yearly January girls BFF retreat is an easy trek up to Daytona Beach for some sunshine & much needed post holiday recovery mode.
Beachfront is the only way we do it! Breakfast is whipped up every day, much to my delight. I have some pop-up work calls to wrap up, so they take some leisurely walks on the beach and even catch a rocket launch.
Everyone gets to pick out their own must do activity and we go out exploring. Hitting up the Buc-ee’s is always a hoot and this time the ladies both wanted to get some practice in at the local gun range. I opted to watch the Duke game during, so everyone was in their own element.
We find a botanical garden that (surprisingly) none of us have ever seen, so are content hiking to the sugar mill ruins and through nature. Then we also found a quaint art show prior to crashing the hotel’s glow in the dark bingo and karaoke.
Back to the room for dinner and game night shenanigans. Each night wouldn’t be complete without a soak in the hotel tub too. And I even shocked myself by jumping into the (heated) pool, which was still a big shock to the system at a measly 78 degrees! Then we end with finding the cheesiest movies to cuddle up on the couch with, until we can’t keep our eyes open anymore.
Sunday inevitably awakes and we say our goodbyes before parting ways to head back home. These getaways rejuvenate my soul more than I can ever express in words. I’m eternally grateful for their positive energy, joyful conversations, playful banter and being each other’s biggest cheerleaders!
