Our weekend in Seaside couldn’t have been more perfect! The weather was great and the company was even better. Our last day we poked around the main square and I wished for one more day to stay, relax and explore. By the end of the trip, I had mentally declared that I could be a beach bum and just hang out on the beach, cook fresh meals, go fishing and swim in the ocean! What a dream, right?

The bright colors, warm breeze and easy going lifestyle of a beach town have got me even more excited for our honeymoon. Though Thailand’s beach is bound to be far less preppy than this one… There’s just something about being by the ocean that puts our mind at ease!
