It was really hard leaving this view behind.
We are back from our amazing vacation and wishing we could go back! Our friends, The Gualdoni's, hosted the whole gang at their home and planned the most perfect beach vacation ever. They even had goodie beach bags for us (Cora included!) filled with all of the beach essentials you need. Colorful beach towels, magazines, sunscreen, lip sunscreen (definitely a must-have), salt-water taffy, cigars for the guys, and a little beach pail kit for Cora. The most thoughtful hosts ever, I tell ya.

The Gualdoni's are among our best friends, and ever since they moved from DC to Naples, Florida, we all promised that we would visit them as soon as we could. And we did! I mean, come on. A trip to visit your best friends in sunny, gorgeous, palm-tree filled Naples?? Um, duh. They didn't have to do much convincing to get us down there.

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen a few of these shots already, but for those of you who don't (really, you should!), here's a mini photo album of our time in Naples.


Here's the gang.

All this little one wanted to do was D A N C E.

Shrimp boils are a must on a beach vacation, right?

She loooved the beach. So much so that she didn't care that she wasn't wearing her bathing suit. She just wanted to get in the water.

Love these girls to pieces.

No lunch is complete without some bubbly.
On a completely random note...

I wish I had brought this home with me. Might have to get this Saint Laurent Cabas Classique Y for Fall...
