My Dream Life, Part 2 of 5: The Whale Watch Motel

The beach just across from the Whale Watch. Heaven.

For years, I’ve wanted to run a funky roadside motel. Like the Whale Watch in Flagler Beach, Florida, the sleepy little beach town where my husband grew up. We stayed there last summer, it’s right on the beach and I have dreams of buying it and completely renovating it, not fancy but cool, something along the lines of the Presidio Hotel in Santa Barbara, where we all stayed while in town for my best friend’s wedding a couple years ago. We may have a little lounge attached to it, too, as I’ve always secretly wanted to be a bartender.

Ah, to live on the beach and run a little hotel with personality. A girl can dream…
