Road Trip Day 4, 5 & 6: Key West

Beach, Key West

This road trip was a total blur, but we did have a chance to relax on the beach one day.

Casa Marina Key WestLiterally, one day. George got so sunburnt that he had to wear my pajama pants! (See above!!!!) To be honest, I got a little burnt too and I never burn!

GeorgeI still love this handsome dude even if he wears pajamas to dinner in Key West.

Banana tree George and I flipped over this banana tree. I guess we’ve never seen one in bloom. It looks like something from “Little Shop of Horrors,” no?

The Southernmost PointMy pictures don’t do it justice. Next time I’m scheduling more beach time and maybe getting a base tan first!

Post-Vacation Blues

sunset in nags headI have a terrible case of post-vacation blues. I literally shed a couple of tears on the way to work this morning. I was in a weird, weepy mood. I enjoy my job, but I did not want to get back to the overload of emails, the ringing phone and the (sometimes) grumpy patrons.

selfiesWhat’s more fun than fun? Funnest?! Funna-fun-fun-fun! Well, whatever it is, I had more fun than that! We lounged in an 8 person float in the ocean while partaking in adult beverages. I really didn’t need a better time than that, but we also took afternoon naps in hammocks and ate until our tummies hurt. I need a detox.

puppy loveWe also hung out with this crazy dog. She’s is the dog version of Lil Bub. And although she had kibble breath, she made me want a little lap dog so, so much!

But now we’re back to the emailing, the traffic, the giant laundry pile. I need another vacation just to catch up.

How do you recover from the post-vacation blues? Let me know in the comments!

love,
