THIS WEEKEND we celebrated our two year anniversary in Naples {florida} and had the absolute best time! JK and I were both able to take a few days off, which is pretty unusual given our work schedules, so we took advantage of the opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful downtown Naples was and the amazing seafood... oh, the seafood was incredible! 

For the past few trips, we have not had the best weather. In fact, it rained pretty consistently during our honeymoon in Antigua and the Grove Park Inn saw the coolest, wettest weekend in May last year for our one year anniversary. 

Thankfully, things just keep getting better and better, in Naples we only had ONE small rain shower! Next year, we are hoping for a completely dry weekend (:

We were able to enjoy several gorgeous days on the beach for some much needed R&R {reading and relaxing}.

The best part of a beach trip is a great read, and Elin Hilderbrand never disappoints on the best beach reads. Her book, Blue Bistro, was a page turner. Book review coming soon!

Now, for the good stuff... Seafood! Downtown Naples presented the most incredible display of restaurants, shops and gelato for dessert! Our goal was to have seafood each night, and we did! Here are our picks for best Naples dining...

We are so blessed to have each other and to celebrate two wonderful years of marriage. I'm looking forward to the amazing plan God has for our future!
