St. Vincent-20th Anniversary Celebration

Twenty years of marriage is definitely something worth celebrating!  Since we spent our actual anniversary in Cooperstown for baseball, we decided to celebrate a little later—and five days in St. Vincent was absolutely worth the wait! 

Italy had always been our dream destination for our 20th anniversary, but after the craziness of life, kids, sports, schedules, and a very full summer, we realized what we really needed was a few relaxing days away together to completely unwind.

So, the beach it was! But for 20 years, we wanted somewhere that felt a little more special than our typical beach getaway—and that’s how we landed on St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

It turned out to be exactly the reset we needed and the perfect place to celebrate 20 years together.

Sandals St. Vincent was absolutely stunning!  The resort grounds were beautiful and felt so different from anywhere we had stayed before. It was tucked between lush, tropical mountains and jungle, which made the entire property feel incredibly peaceful and secluded.  The rooms were perfect and the food was amazing! 

We fell in love with the Caribbean beer, Carib, on our honeymoon and were so happy to be re-united 20 years later.

This was hard to capture on camera, but one morning there was a full 360° rainbow around the sun. Definitely not something you see every day, or ever!

We loved all of the activities around the resort! One of our favorite little touches was the bikes placed throughout the property that you could hop on and off whenever you wanted.

We definitely took advantage of all the activities the resort had to offer! We went tubing, kayaked, paddle boarded, joined in on some of the pool activities, and even snorkeled and kayaked through a bat cave, which was so cool and unlike anything we had done before.  It was the perfect mix of doing things and doing absolutely nothing!

The sunsets were stunning!

Silent headphone parties are always a blast, and this one definitely did not disappoint!

We had the best anniversary celebration and some much-needed time with just the two of us!  It’s definitely harder to get away these days with the kids’ busy schedules and everything we have going on, but every time we do, we realize just how much we needed it.

World Cup

Jackson got World Cup tickets for his 14th birthday, and we had been counting down to finally cashing in that gift since January! 

Having the World Cup right here in the United States made it even more special. I entered every ticket lottery imaginable, and after four unsuccessful attempts, we were FINALLY selected! 🙌

We scored four tickets to the first knockout round in Dallas, and after months of waiting to find out who we would see, the matchup ended up being Egypt vs. Australia!  The crowds for both teams were impressive!

Such a fun birthday gift we’ll never forget!

Cooperstown Action Shots

I will always be grateful for all the amazing action shots taken at Cooperstown! Buying the team photo package was worth every dollar and more!

I sifted through hundreds and hundreds of photos of Mason and somehow managed to narrow down my favorites to these. So many incredible moments captured from a week we will never forget! 

Cooperstown memories that will last a lifetime!
