Our vacation officially started on May 21. We were invited to spend days around Memorial Day weekend in Vero Beach, Florida. HD's colleague and friend has a house on the barrier island area of Vero, with all sorts of fun amenities. He graciously shared this space with us and another one of our mutual friends. It was the prefect getaway spot to kick off our vacation time. The best word I can use to describe it is AMAZING!!
Here are the TOP 10 HIGHTLIGHTS of our trip!
1.Making multiple daily trips to the sea shore. (only a 4 minute walk from the house)
2. Catching a mother loggerhead sea turtle making her annual pilgrimage to the shore to lay her eggs on the beach at midnight.
3. Soothing afternoon thunderstorms. aka a great excuse for naps!
4. The bunny who's mealtime seemed to correspond with our daily beach visits
5. Lot of palm trees, little lizards and the fantastic warmth that made our trip feel truly tropical!
6.Temporarily forgetting pregnancy while packing, then realizing that last year's swimsuit doesn't fit quite the same. Then having to go shopping!
7. Access to a fresh water pool when the salty waves such all your energy!
8. Seeing the sun rise over the Atlantic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. Doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. Including, polishing off two novels and finishing a knitting project from January.
10. Seeing the boy essence of HD so close to the surface as he boogy boarded, body surfed and built a sand fortress. & knowing he'll be a fantastic playmate for BC!
One down, coming back (boo!) to a hole in the living room ceiling. . . Read more on that in part 2 coming soon.
