Cheese With Your Whine?
7.25.2005
What a week!We had an awesome time in Destin!!!! I am soooo glad we went. Thanks Erin, for threatening to kick my arse if I backed out!
Rylee was so much fun at the beach. After the first day, she was in love with the water. She'd stand in it, let it wash over her head and face and then spit to get the salt out! Erin made her her own special 'pool' in the sand by digging it out and letting the water fill it up. She played there for a long time.
That kid definitely has some darker genes in her than I do. She's got one heck of a tan...even through her sunscreen. I, on the other hand, have sunburnt legs and a slight tan line from the neck of my suit. Is it wrong to be jealous of a 15 month old??
We made some really great memories and I'm going to make that trip an annual thing. I've got pictures to post...just need to get the good ole film developed.
Erin's sister Lori and her family were there and that woman is Martha freaking Stewart. They have an RV and so they didn't stay with us, but she had a full menu for every day - breakfast, lunch, appetizer, dinner, and drinks. MMMMMMM, drinks. I got pretty toasted one night - thanks to her bahama mamas, Mikes hard lime and about a whole bottle of wine. I forgot what it felt like to get drunk like that. Since Rylee actually has a regular bedtime, it was put her down, and RELAX. A small...and I mean very small... part of me misses being able to go out and drink whenever I wanted to. I admit it, I like being drunk!! Now Erin knows that my mouth runs 90 miles a minute when I've had a few.
We got to hang out with Christina one day when we all did a dolphin cruise. Of course, there were no dolphins to be seen, but it was good anyway.
Little update on Rylee and the tantrums. Today she went back to school, of course. She slept for an hour - not two or 2.5 - and had no meltdown tonight. Kinda makes ya go hmmmmm.....I really wonder if there's something to this sleep schedule thing.
Well I've got lots more to write, but now I'm off to dream of the beach. I stayed up way too late on Saturday when we got home and got almost no sleep last night. But I'm not complaining, if ya know what I mean. ;-)
I'll post pics soon. I've missed my blog and my blogging friends. I have lots of reading to do!
