Spontaneous Florida Vacation

Last week I was out to dinner with Shannon and her friend Becky that flew in from England to visit for a few weeks over the summer. We were talking about how much fun it would be to plan a spontaneous trip & just jet off into the sunset... the following morning - Shannon called me with a plan. Before I knew it, my bags were packed and I was holding a ticket to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This short vacation turned out to be one of the best I've ever had & I wanted to share a few pictures from our adventure!

My first mirror shot when we got to the hotel!
I promised Becky that when she came to the US - we would have a photo shoot! :) It was a blast!

Lounging by the pool.

These lizards were everywhere. When we would walk on the sidewalk, dozens would dart out of our way.
My friend Shannon rocking her favorite sunglasses.
The best friends! :) Separated by the Atlantic Ocean.

Our last sunset!

If you are one of the many people who emailed or called me over the last few days, I am doing my best to get back to you all! :) I'm hoping to finish responding to emails by tomorrow morning. Thank you for being so patient!

All the best,
Natalie Franke
