We loved every day of this short family beach trip to Panama City, Florida. It was everything we needed. A chance to recharge, play outside all day, and just talk as a family.

We got to get up when we wanted to, eat when we wanted to, play hard when we wanted to, and just follow a schedule that worked for us. We also got to ...
