Workout: Undecided as of now. Working out tonight when hubs gets home, and I can't decide if I am going to run or do pilates.
We were gone for 12 days in June taking a much needed family vacation. We drove 18 HOURS to Ft. Myers, FL. Actually, total drive time was 22.5 hours, but we stopped in southern IN on the way down and back to sleep!! The kids did amazing and thankfully I have no nightmare stories to tell!! We stayed with my sister and her family. Just like old times;) The week went waaaay too fast, and there is so much we didn't get to do. But, we did have a great time. Okay, so vacation highlights:
1. Running!!! I love to run on vacation. I think it is just the change from my normal everyday scenery that makes it so enjoyable. We were blessed with hot hot HOT weather, which is just what I wanted. But, that also meant early morning runs were a must, feeling like you couldn't breathe was unavoidable, and diving into the pool was the only way to cool off!!
2. Family! While we were down there we were able to see my aunt and cousin that we haven't seen in 7 years!! The last time I saw my cousin, Cole, he was in 3rd grade!! Loved being able to visit with them.
3. The beach!! Matt and I were totally worried about this. Orlando hates being outside - weird right? The funny thing is when we lived in FL he hated being inside. The first 10 minutes at the beach he wanted to go home which we knew would happen. But it didn't take long for him to warm up, and he ended up having a blast. YAY!!!
4. Shelling!! My sister and I woke up at 5:30 to go shelling on Sanibel Island. Sanibel is the #1 shelling location in the U.S. Low tide is the best time to shell so we had to get out there early!! It was one of the most fun relaxing activities I have ever done! We found tons of huge shells, but unfortunately, almost everything was still alive. I found quite a few sand dollars which was cool, but was most excited when I found the dead one. I took him home and cleaned and bleached him right away. He is still wrapped in bubble wrap, but I do have a cool photo of the live one I had to throw back into the water.
Watching a sand dollar breathe is really creepy. Ugh!! One of the best parts of shelling was being able to watch the sunrise! Gorgeous!
That is my sister out there...not just some random person;))
None of us were ready to leave FL. We got to see some good friends, the kids got to see some of their friends, and we were able to just relax, swim, and eat really good food everyday!!! If only I made $$ as a stay at home mom, because then we could go back in August;)
