Days before their 'On the Run' special is planned to air, Beyoncé shared some intimate pictures of her birthday vacation on her website. In a true family affair, Tina Knowles (with her new man in tow), Jay Z and Baby Blue enjoyed the beach in the South of France, looking happier than ever.

Just after Beyoncé received the Video Vanguard Award at the 2014 VMA's, Bey and the gang jetted off to an island to celebrate her turning 33. After all of the hard work she and her team put into the 15-minute performance, the vacation was well deserved.

In one of the pictures, Bey and Jay are posted up on the massive blue water, facing the sea in Alfa Nero matching chairs. In the next set, Baby Blue is snapped while playing with a bunch of beach toys that appear to be surprisingly normal for the heir of the hip hop royals' throne.

Next, Bey shared a picture of the fabulous and ageless Mama Tina, as she enjoys a boat ride-Which was probably the smaller boat that took them to the bigger yacht, where Bey snapped more pictures of her killer figure covered in metallic flash tattoos.

Yachting is one of Bey's favorite past times and ways to relax when she is not working. Every time she takes a vacation, there is a huge, luxurious yacht involved. Life is certainly good.

But, the stand out post of this collection of photos has to be the one of her jewel-encrusted birthday hat. The entire piece is covered in gold and diamond bees. At first glance, it looks more like a centerpiece than a hat, but when Bey puts it on, it all comes together. No word on who made it, or if she designed it herself. Nevertheless, it's absolutely stunning!
