Beaches post hurricanes …

Post hurricane most places were open
checked the travel updates after we purchased for our trip
May want to remove that one or others when there is massive weather so they aren’t purchased
But we made the best of it on our trip
Beach was nice, cute stops recommended at the first stop
3rd stop was a zoo with lots of places closed and the fourth stop - couldn’t get to it due to road closures

Loved Sun-Kissed Surprises!

We did the sun-kissed surprises with our one-year-old and it was great! The stops gave us options and we were able to pick which ones would work best for us. Definitely gave us some family memories for the books!
