Vacay

We had another good vacation, though I still feel like we're recovering from it. Good times on South Padre, with lots of Dirty Al's and time swimming. And some hot tub time. Time with kids, Taboo, lots of shrimp, and the usual amount of disorganization. We were very pleased to get upgraded to First Class both ways to Jamaica. Granted, we've been to this resort before. And it was much like we remembered it. Though we did get upgraded to a one-bedroom suite that was a usual butler room. The food was good, the beach was good, though we did have our share of rain. It wasn't entirely unwelcome, because it was hot and we were so burnt out (not literally...I did a better job of freckling than sunburning).

We also met our usual collection of friends nearly old enough to be our parents. We are definitely tight with the 50 something crowd. There are never many people in their 30s and 40s at their resorts...too busy with babies. We split the difference between honeymooners and the couples escaping their nearly grown children. Which is fine. The couples from Long Island were very nice, and very conservative. Not surprisingly.

We kept to our busy routine of working out X# of times per day. Which is exhausting, though I was grateful that we could kayak, tried snorkeling, and run. And swim for some people! I also filled up on lots of mango and bacon, which were delicious. We also burnt some off with ping pong.

But after this and a quick trip to Boston, it was so good to be at home. Though this weekend will be another over-scheduled one...
