THANKS BE TO GOD for the blessings of safe AND happy travel! Those two things are huge... especially considering some of the breakdowns we've had in recent months.
ANYHOW, we arrived safely home last night with no sunburns & walked into a clean house. After discussing it for a while, Jason & I came to the mutual conclusion that even though our trip to the beach was short, it WAS a true vacation- filled with rest and indulgence.
The list of things we indulged in:
Sleep
Sun
Beer
Cheesecake
Buttermilk Pie
Cable TV & Cartoons
PLUS, sweet husband made it extra special for me by keeping the condo kitchen clean, letting me sleep in 1 morning & giving me an afternoon all to myself to.......drumroll please....SHOP!
(in front of the shrimp boat 'Polly Anna')
We also pinpointed the low spots of the trip as being our 2 experiences eating out.
#1. Eating lunch at a BBQ joint that WAY overcharged us
#2. Getting overcharged TWICE at the Coffee Shop
(.....Does anyone else get the feeling that retailers are intentionally deceptive and don't care much about customer service & true value? I don't want to be a scrupulous miser but it makes me feel like I have to watch out every time I buy something.)
Oh well, all the more reason to appreciate the Creator's handiwork...
...things like the sunset, the fresh sea breeze, the dolphins jumping in the harbor and the children shreeking with laughter while they play.
