Back from Vacation


The Jordans are back from our Gulf Coast vacation and completely refreshed! I know I promised to blog, but I encountered difficulty syncing my mobile number to my blogger account. Forgive me?

In the matter of one week, I managed to  ...

master the art of a Pina Colada.

finally finish the book I started reading in February.

get a glorious massage.

watch two consecutive hours of Family Guy.

eat lots of terrific seafood.

buy a dress for $7 at the JCrew outlet.

watch a beautiful fireworks show fired off directly in front of our condo balcony.

beat Ty racing go carts (forget the fact that his ride stalled out. A win is a win.)

drink the single most strongest cocktail of my life at the Pink Pony Pub.

and only reply to a single work e-mail all week.

Despite all the reasons I enjoyed our trip, I came home with one unwanted souvenir ... swimmer's ear. What am I ... 12 again? I thought only kids got swimmer's ear? Just goes to show you, I play hard.

In retrospect, I will no longer plan vacations on national holidays. After our Memorial Day trip, I came home with poison ivy. Now following my Fourth of July adventure, I have swimmer's ear. I'm staying put come Labor Day!

I'm sure you guys have had a case or two of swimmer's ear in your lifetime! I'm not getting much sympathy from Ty because of it!

Mandy S said...

Is the dress in your picture the "$7 JCrew Dress?" Regardless, it's very cute. Congrats on the purchase :).

Ps- Swimmer's ear stinks... you have my (someone who did summer league swimming) deepest sympathy.

Erin, that's not the $7 JCrew dress, but I did wear that dress on Sunday.
