sunset dress from Pink Lily Boutique Turks and Caicos thursday night fish fry festival

Sunset is so gorgeous on Turks and Caicos. We had the best view of the sunset while we talked to the fish fry on Thursday night. I had to stop and take some photos of this beautiful dress from Pink Lily Boutique. I see some of my favorite bloggers We had such a blast last night at the fish fry! you can still catch it on my stories, everyone on the island was there it seemed! Restaurants brought along food and drinks and the local band and DJ played music that brought everyone together for a huge dance party. We ate food truck style out of a container sitting on a step, drank rum punch and had such a great time laughing and dancing.

I wore this beautiful yellow dress from Pink Lily Boutique. I got so many compliments on it. I love that the top is padded so you do not even need to worry about the fact it has an open back…. The back is the best part its crocheted straps are so cute!! I might be wearing this dress again so do not hate me if you see it somewhere soon!

Kevin and I do not get out dancing much and we are not big drinkers, so drinking and dancing was sort of awkward for us at first but we had a blast! If you are a parent you will be able to relate to how awkward it is getting back out into the world after having kids. Our first time around you guys know already and we are making it a point to share our time between the kids and ourselves. We absolutely wish we could have got the kids here and had fun with them… but the logistics of traveling with 2 toddlers an trying to stay on top of their schedule is just not worth the additional few thousand dollars… We have lots of local trips planned that will be so much fun for them. When you are traveling the best thing to do is engage with the locals. I act like a friendly tourist and talk with everyone. They know the best spots for food and fun. Kevin and I are adventurous so we look to explore. Renting a scooter our second day allowed us to scope out everywhere we wanted to visit. I loved it! Talking to the locals about whats happening around town is definitely my number 1 tip for getting the most out of your vacation. I loved taking in the culture on this trip, it was so amazing seeing the entire island come together for the Thursday night fish fry!

We have definitely caught the travel bug. Every time we visit the beach we talk about getting a property somewhere. After this trip we are really close to pulling the trigger on a vaca spot in Naples FL. Soon but not right now. We may go in October and start looking at places. It will be the perfect distance and we can share it with our family.

I have more from Pink Lily to share, I am planning to wear the perfect resort dress out to the world famous infinity bar! We heard it is a huge dance party and lots of fun, stay tuned to stories for that tonight!

XO,
