We\u2019re nearing the end of vacation and I have mixed emotions. On one hand I wish I could live like this everyday, have family nearby and enjoy margaritas everyday at sunset. On the other hand, I thrive on routine. It\u2019s a curse.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n I haven\u2019t been too great about exercise on this vacation. We\u2019ve been busy bustling the whole gang around, but as for structured exercise, yesterday was my one wog. I took Koda and we went 2.7 miles on the beach. It was so serene and it felt great to wiggle.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Plus, with no leash laws, Koda got to wiggle, too, and covered at least twice the distance I did.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n My body has been craving normalcy, so between the margaritas and Dean\u2019s French onion dip, I managed to fit in some old familiar greens yesterday before the beach.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n After a brief stint on the sand, we retired to the pool for splashing, dunking and watermelon.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n And this was all before noon! After lunch we bummed\u2026<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u2026but only briefly. Then we were off to catch some crabs!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I may or may not have secretly pretended to be Joey Potter during this escapade.<\/p>\n Upon returning home, I made mermaid jewelry with my sweet niece.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Before heading to the beach for sunset.<\/p>\n
