Cape San Glamp

October 9, 2014

After a solid 4 years of Glamping in the cold woods we decided to mix it up in an effort to soak up as much sunshine as possible. On the last weekend of September, we drove south to Cape San Blas, Florida. We upgraded our 7 person tent to a 4 bedroom house. We replaced our flannels with gingham, puffy jackets with navy blazers, pumpkin beer with rosé, and dirt with sand. We added 2 new members to the crew and poured one out for our dear Allyson who wasn’t able to make it. And as always, it was epic. Summer forever.

CapeSanGlamp085Some strangers asked if there was going to be a wedding. One of the girls joked that there was going to be a vow renewal, and the strangers asked if they could watch from their porch. So, to not appear as the liars we were, an impromptu vow renewal for us, led by Captain Matt, took place. He pronounced us “still married.”

    How did you find a place to rent? I have done multiple trips to Gulf Shores and am looking to switch it up next year. Looks like an amazing trip.
