The humor mini me imparts on every situation is too much. Example numero uno (with many more to come), upon seeing palm trees for the first time in her long lived 4 years, she proudly proclaimed they were coconut trees. Later she conceded to their proper name and adopted the term “coconut palms”. Not every battle fought must be won.
From angry mosquitoes to the forever walk – the extent of my exercise regimen involved using the stairs to climb 3 flights multiple times a day and running away from tiny hell creatures bent on sucking my blood.
I attempted to eat my weight in crustaceans. Surely the scale would agree.
The Gulf of Mexico has some of the warmest waters I’ve ever encountered. The sand bars are my favorite because just as soon as you lose sight of your feet they suddenly reappear again like magic!
Homemade tortillas and the hottest salsa on the planet. I could eat it every day.
As I re-tell these short vacation blips and use my photograph collection as a handy reminder, I believe I may have to write a separate post on just flowers and trees, as well as one on just food. Skip it if you care not.
There was alcohol, too!
On that note, I will be here reminiscing seven, short days in paradise. And nursing my sunburn.

I ask you –
Did you vacation this year? Where? Staycations count, too!
Did you take vacations as a child?
Name your best sunburn remedy.
