Beach Trip Part 3

July 16, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Saturday!!! I am so messed up on what day it is since we got back from the beach on a Wednesday. Today we are doing some much needed yard work and maybe heading to the gym for some strength training and cross training. I am still not running due to my knee…driving me BONKERS by the way, I want to rruuunnn! It’s amazing how much you miss it when you can’t do it…

Anyway, I will be honest, after the first full day at the beach I didn’t take a lot of pictures, so I will sum the rest of the trip this weekend.

So Monday morning Bobby had to be at his law class/summer school (tehehe) at 7:30 until 12:15. The rest of us decided to walk on the beach and then bum around the condo reading on the balcony, watching tv, relaxing, etc. You would think we could do that at home for free, right? Except walk on the beach..unless you call the sand by the pond in my neighborhood a beach…

When Bobby got back, we ate lunch, and watched my FAVORITE beach movie, Weekend at Bernies! I was sad we didn’t bring the second one as well! We laughed like we always do, and then decided to lounge around some more and make hamburgers in the condo for dinner. They had grills outside, but they were in the most inconvenient place. We decided they did it on purpose so you wouldn’t use them and would eat at their restaurant instead. After dinner,  dad, Bobby and I went crab hunting again.

The next day, (Tuesday) Bobby had class again, and the three of us decided to hit the pool.

Look at all them peeps!

My dad and I walked on the beach then we lounged poolside until lunchtime. (I am making my mom read the Hunger games, she was really getting into it) I was kind of sad this day, because my parents left right after lunch to go home. I was left alone for a while waiting for Bobby to get back, and I was really sad all of the sudden, I had such a great time with my family I didn’t want them to leave! It was one of those times where you just want to cry and don’t really know why, but you feel so much better after you do. yes…I am one of “those” people.

——————————————————

I will finish up the beach trip tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great Saturday, do something fun!

    My daughter and I go to meet my dad & step mom on occasion but usually in Charleston SC and we just wander around, enjoy their company, good food for a day or two and then off on ways again….otherwise it’s just me and my daughter traveling…

    It’s okay, I’m one of “those” people, too. At least we are open with our emotions 😛

The Castaway Cay 5K was hands down one of our favorite memories from our @disneycruiseline cruise, just me and my girl, running along the most beautiful island with that Caribbean breeze and the bluest water cheering us on. It’s such a fun (and free!) way to experience Castaway Cay in a totally different way.

If you’re planning a cruise, this is your sign to do the 5K — even if you walk it! Grab water early, go first thing before it gets too hot, and don’t forget to stop for pictures because you won’t want to forget this one! 🏅 

If you’re ready to book your own Disney cruise, I’d love for you to use my link in my bio and plan through Best Day Ever Vacation. It’s completely free to have the book for you and they have over 1000 5 star reviews! 🤍

🚨 Right now there’s an incredible deal: 20% off select voyage fares PLUS a $250 onboard credit 🙌 
That onboard credit can go toward excursions, specialty dining, souvenirs, or spa time (yes please).

Let me know if you have questions about the 5K or cruising with kids, it truly was the best day ever! (Make sure you use my link in bio to get your free quote so they know that I sent you!!)
