The hubby and I took a vacation. Yep, a non-work related, for no particular reason vacation. I honestly can't think of the last time we traveled that wasn't somehow work related. No complaints on those work-related trips but there's a lot to be said for a do-nothing trip.
We headed up the coast a couple of hours to Florida's oldest city. We walked around for hours, took zillions of pictures, acted like tourists and ate and drank to our heart's content. We beached, drove around and ate some more.
The kids, well, legally I think they could be referred to as Young Adults, did a fine job of taking care of this highly spoiled crew:
keeping the water level consistent in the salt water tank and making sure the house was sparkly clean so Mom-doesn't-have-a-major-meltdown-rash-when-she-gets-home. Don't know what it's pre-Mom arrival state was and I'm not asking. It was perfection when I walked in the door.
I tried alligator tail and I suppose if something is fried with enough seasoned breading and loaded with enough sauce it tastes okay. I'll never make it; I'll never order my own plate of it; but I guess it was okay.
I did have a fantastic meal at Saltwater Cowboys. I would eat there three times a week if I could. It was that good!
On the creating front I've got several new designs and projects to show off so check back soon.
Off to the sewing machine.
I assume you were in St Augustine? I am headed that direction soon. We spend two weeks in Daytona Breach Shores every summer and this year we are headed down mid to end July. It really is our do nothing vacation, since all we do is hit the beach and sit, eat out as much as we can and go nowhere we don't have to! We are basically slugs. I always take loads of knitting and get none of it done. Oh well, that's what beach vacations are for.
We just might have to visit in St Aug for a change.
