So while I was planning our little beach vacay a few weeks ago I had one "dream" goal in mind. All I wanted...out of the WHOLE entire trip was to be able to go down to the beach and lay-out for just a little bit one day. I'd had it ALL planned out...I would strategically get my little man to lay down for a nap in the hotel room as my hubby watched over him...and I would, all stealth like, sneak out of the room and head down to the beach and set in a chair and soak up the sun. Just imagine...peace and quite...waves crashin...
It's a beautiful dream...really. And it ALMOST happened. Almost.
Except a few details changed...Little Man fell asleep in the car after a morning out sight seeing...so the hubs dropped me off at the hotel while he drove around for the remainder of the nap. I was excited...ran up to the room...changed into my bathing suit...I was READY!!!
I rode the elevator down and started heading towards the beach...ahhhh OUCH...dang that sand was HOT HOT HOT!!! I finally made it to the lovely chairs that I had been eyeing from our 19th floor balcony only to find a sign that said "FOR RENT-see lifeguard" ??? Crap...I didn't have any cash...ugh...
So...hmm...plan B!!! I'll just go lounge by the pool right? Sure that will be great!!! .... No Chairs...not ONE SINGLE EMPTY CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well then I just felt dumb...could people hear the play by play that was going through my mind??? Here I was...all bathing suited up and ready for my idea of "relaxation" but it just wasn't happening for me...not today.
Plus...I admit...it was kind of weird being without my hubby and little man grabbing, pinching, and smacking me in weird places.
