I'm back! My vacation was awesome! Eight wonderful days in Turks & Caicos and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. Relaxing days spent on the beach or by the pool surrounded by my wonderful family...what more could a girl ask for? For the first time, I've come back from vacation feeling rested and content. I even skipped workouts! I always go on vacation with planned workouts in mind and always find the time to sweat. This vacation was different...both my hubby and I decided to really take it easy and give our bodies a break. We did just a few light workouts on the beach and in the ocean and that was it...Boy did it feel good! We gave our bodies some much-needed downtime and have come back rejuvenated and ready to go!
I also figured out something on this trip...I needed some good, old-fashioned family time with my kids. Our lives are so crazy busy and we run from one activity to another (as so many of us do). This vacation was different. We spent the last week building sand castles, snorkling in the ocean, exploring pirate caves, working puzzles, playing monopoly, lying in hammocks, and eating ice cream on the beach at sunset. Each and every day was spent with the kids, my husband, my brother-in-law and my mom. We did a lot of relaxing, talking, laughing and sharing stories and it was awesome. What really matters the most in my life? Family and the 3 people in this picture are everything to me. This vacation reminded me to slow down and enjoy the time with my kids while they're so young. Work will wait, sports will wait, etc, etc. Family is my priority and I need to slow my life down and enjoy these special moments.
I know this will always rank as one of the best trips we've ever taken and I'll always remember it!
This was a great post! So glad you all had fun in the sun.
