Back from vacation
|
Hey, I've missed everyone, but I feel well rested after a much-needed vacation. SO much so, in fact, that despite rolling into town at 1 am this morning, I still got up at 5 and did my lap swim. That's probably one thing I've really missed while I was away.
The beach was clear and sunny, though much too windy and cool to lay out in the sun. On the other hand, it's been scorching hot at home, so the cooler temperatures were a great relief - certainly nothing to complain about! I LOVED running on the beach; it was least windy in the early morning, the time when I'm used to working out anyway, so I was able to get in a workout early and still have the rest of the day to play with my kids. I even ate pretty healthy overall. I LOVE fresh seafood, so I sampled some fresh new dishes without totally sabotaging my waistline. My favorite was probably pasta with a garlic, basil, olive oil base, with chunks of fresh crab, snow peas and feta. YUM! I also had a wonderful grilled halibut with fresh pineapple salsa.
I think the highlight of the trip was a surprise encounter with a seal pup while walking on the beach. The tide was going out, the sun was setting, and this darling little seal was just lying on the shore. I'll post a pic! Anyway, I'm back and anxious to read everyone's blogs and tips and catch up on all I've missed. Hope you've all had a wonderful week. It was great to get away, but it's always nice to come home!
