I am back to the day-to-day routine this morning after a great week off with Linds. Our vacation started after work, Friday a week ago, with a Luau party. I dressed up in my best Panama Jack outfit, and Linds looked amazing! From there, we raced a sprint triathlon on Sunday morning and then Sunday afternoon Riley left with Mamaw and Papaw to spend the week. From this point, Linds and I had no plans for our week.
Since we have been married, "vacation" has always consisted of traveling. Whether it was a short trip or a far away destination, we have always traveled. I have always been of the mindset that if you are at home, you cannot truly relax. The reason for this is, there is always something at the house that needs to get done. Cutting the grass, cleaning the garage, trimming the bushes, etc. If you start guilting yourself into doing these chores, then you are not vacationing.
This time however, Linds and I for several reasons, decided to stay at home for vacation. I will admit, day one was hard to get into vacation mode, but I did. The week filled up with sitting on the beach reading, taking the ferry to Southport, a wine tasting, day trip to Myrtle Beach, taking the boat out, going to the movies, and several nice dinners out.
This week, I have to get back in gear. My dress pants this morning made their point that I have enjoyed myself a little too much!
