Why have I never done this before??!!…..
VACATION.
I have not been on an actual vacation in 9 years. That was for my honeymoon and that my friend, was the only one I have ever been on.
Obviously, I have done the couple days here or there thing, but this past week I took the whole family down to North Myrtle Beach where we stayed in a condo right on the beach. Man, it was an amazing time. (before you start thinking “must be nice”…..it is still offseason rates and it really wasn’t that expensive)
To just sit there and relax. Watch my little girl enjoying the beach and playing in the sand……it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. McKenna had a blast and cried when we told her we were headed home. Addison actually loved it too. We would just put her in her Bumbo and set her on step or in the water as the waves gently came in…..it was so cute.
It actually took me a couple days to unwind. To be honest, I almost didn’t know how to “shut down.” I am an “always going” kind of person….I always have been. Very spontaneous and I hate to be stuck in the house…..so to just sit all day took some adjustment.
But once I got in the right mind frame, it was pretty cool and can see why it is important. Not only for personal reasons, but also to be able to stop and spend quality time with your family.
McKenna learned how to swim with just her floaties on, and she was getting brave enough to put her face underwater.
Everything went well until the last day there…..on the last day McKenna skinned her knee, we ruined our camera and I lost my sunglasses. lol. It was still worth it.
