Ahhhhhhh


Can I just tell you how AWESOME our vacation was? I think we needed that in a really bad way. There was not one single minute where I wished I was doing anything else. We did a lot of relaxing - but an amazing amount of activity as well - playing with kids (5 and 9 and cute as can be) and dogs, hot tubbing, deep conversations, running (me), driving range (Michael), going out in a catamaran, doing a nature hike in a bird sanctuary, seeing an old shipwreck, making pizza & sangria, looking at planets through a telescope, playing board games, hiking up huge sand dunes to watch the sunset (see picture), playing table shuffleboard, dancing, and finally, ending up in a bar that was hosting a bikini contest. Phew. It was a great time. And I think Michael and I behaved enough to hopefully get another invite someday. Everyone there was so great and welcoming and friendly. The girl whose family owned the house is a friend of a friend. In a super odd small world story - her brother was there too - and it turns out he's the guy who did our mortgage. Wildness.

Anyway, it was a great time. I won't torture you with all kinds of stories, but Michael and I felt like ourselves again. Good stuff. Why can't it always be a vacation? I guess because we wouldn't appreciate it as much.

Speaking of stories - I feel like I really need a new name for this blog. So I'm taking suggestions. Here are a few options Michael and I thought of...

Tales from the Hoodie
"But it's KINDA Funny" - (classic quote from my nephew)

Any opinions? Or other suggestions? I'm leaning towards Tales from the Hoodie, but I'm open. (Michael makes total fun of me for loving hoodies.)

Giulia - a hoodie is just a hooded sweatshirt. (And possibly one of the greatest inventions EVER - so comfy!)
