A good road trip can be so special. As soon as the rubber hits the road, there is a sense of freedom. The adventure makes it easy to savor every moment. We have learned over the years to leave the clipboard of fun at home for these trips and let spontaneity take over. Directing our attention to how simple life can be provided for a vacation well spent.

Over the years, we have had many different road trips. However, there is one very special road trip we have taken repeatedly almost every year since our first child was born. That is a trip through the deep south, to a little beach town called Seaside. It is a quintessential town that dreams are made of, with cobblestone roads, long miles of beach, and the warm breeze off the salty sea of the Gulf of Mexico.

The goal when we visit Seaside is to slow down, smell the sea air, walk on the beach, and relax. It has never been anything more than a time to reconnect as a family. It's a time to do things together that matters and mark a memory that will last forever. Many of our most memorable moments from family vacations reside in this sleepy little beach town.

Some of the most memorable moments we have had are around a dinner table enjoying southern hospitality. I have come to enjoy shrimp and grits, cornbread and fried chicken, and Po Boy Sandwiches. However, one item we always look forward to getting when we sit down in the southern restaurants is cheese biscuits.  

There is something special about a warm, soft, fluffy cheese biscuit that, as soon as the butter hits it melts. These savory biscuits are pretty epic and can be a fantastic accompaniment to soup, a beautiful bread basket before any meal, or even better, can become the most epic morning meal of all time with a smearing of homemade jam or the accompaniment of eggs.
