Taking a load off

Phil and I joined my family at the beach for a wonderful get away. There was a point when I was younger when I would think that it would be the end of the world when I grew up and stopped receiving a whole lot of presents for Christmas, but now that I have grown up and the presents (the lot of them) have pretty much stopped, I am glad to say that my parents stepped it up and made sure we still have something under the tree for Christmas morning. So…now that my sisters and I are all grown up…instead of bikes and barbies we are getting trips to all kinds of destinations.

Some of my fondest summer memories from growing up was being at the beach. Up at dawn and flashlighting the crabs through the night, who needed to sleep when you have waves and sand and a pool and Lord knows what else.

This year my parents totally outdid themselves by giving all of us a trip to that beach we grew up on. Not only were we there for a few wonderful days but the condo that we stayed in was out. of. this. world. I wish the entire family could have been there but I’m so glad my Gina Bina was there!

Thanks Mom and Dad…and I am definitely in favor of this “grown up” Christmas!
