Life's a Beach


And just like that...it's over. That's the funny thing about vacation...seems like forever until it gets here, and then it seems like it hardly even was.  Well...even though it went quick...our annual beach trip to Port A was just perfect!  Plenty of beach time, pool time, card games, dominos, and a new found love of ping pong...and that was just day 1!  We even managed to suffer through NBC's highly edited and overly watered down coverage of the Olympics.  I'm not sure what it is about the Olympics that makes women's international handball interesting, but I guess when it's hot out we'll watch anything.

In between snacks, naps, and cocktails we ventured as far as the block to the beach and as near as the couch.  A once stocked pantry was left barren after just a few days and our bellies were all better for it. Cold ice cream, an even colder AC, and a perfectly refreshing pool made the trip exactly what we needed to relax.  The only question now is...will we go back before next summer? (If we don't, Bryce may force us to buy a ping pong table).

We've been to beaches all over the world and if given the choice...I think we'd pick our 2 bedroom little condo in Port A 10 out of 10 times (well, maybe 9 out of 10 if the tenth time we were offered this place http://texasnewmans.blogspot.com/2010/01/perfecto.html - but what are the odds of that happening again?)
