I’ve decided.
Five nights away from the daily grind is good for the soul.
It probably doesn’t matter where you go, it’s the getting that is important.
Days spent torn between the sun on the front deck or the breeze on the white beach.
Deciding between walks in the woods or quiet snuggles on the couch.
Knee deep in sandcastles and sunscreen.
Ice cold Corona with good friends.
BBQ’s and Take Out.
Ice Cream dripping from delighted chins.
Rip roaring giggles of care free kids crashing in the waves.
Beach Chairs and Sunsets.
Exhausted children carried off to bed.
Time alone to re-charge and re-connect.
Time to smile, relax and remind ourselves how truly lucky we are.
The only problem…
I really wasn’t ready to come home.
Sounds like heaven. All of it!
Sounds fabulous!
That was a mini-vaca just reading it.
Think I’ll grab a tea and sit out back and pretend it’s a Corona and I’m at the beach. 🙂
I think coming back to reality…makes us want to go back on vacation immediately!
The time always goes so fast doesn’t it? Summer will be over before you know it and it will be back to the daily grind. I hope it slows down a little so I can enjoy it before its gone.
Ugh. So jealous I just turned green.
I’m glad you had a good time chicken xx
Sigh. I’m so jealous. I haven’t been to the beach in a couple of years, and Mama needs it bad.
Sounds like a wonderful time was had. I am always amazed at what some good down-time can do for a person’s outlook! Glad you could get yourself some…….
Happy to see you back!
Sounds fantastic! It makes me want to begin planning my own getaway. That’s what is so great when you do leave home…you get to look forward to the next trip.
Welcome Home!! (I mean even if you weren’t ready.) Sounds like a great time.
aaaah… from the sounds of it, i wouldnt have been ready for home either.
