You know when you're so busy, and have so much work to do, that you can't find the time to go to the grocery store, let alone take a vacation for a week? Matt and I found ourselves in that very situation last Sunday night, as we frantically packed for a beach vacation that felt crazy to take. But we'd planned this trip a year ago with my parents, and sometimes you just have to step away for a while, especially for family time. We spent time in the Bahamas and Miami, and it was so amazing to unplug and recharge a bit. Ash loved the ocean (almost a little too much-- I imagined him sitting on the beach playing with buckets in the sand, and instead he became obsessed with the water and crawling as fast as he could into it every time we turned our backs), we ate the freshest seafood, drank enough Pina Coladas to last me the rest of the year, and watched some beautiful sunsets. Restful it was not, as I've heard it never is with a baby, but we feel rejuvenated and so lucky to have been able to make some amazing memories in such a beautiful place.
Now we're back, and ready to get to work! But here are a few moments from our sweet, sweet time at the ocean......
