Brown Sugar

Yes my friends... my lovely vacation is winding down.. we have two days left and then it is back to reality.

It has been in the low 90's for the past 2 weeks, and I feel like I am now the color of light brown sugar. 

Two weeks is definitely what I needed to unwind.. .. and even though I haven't been able to completely detach my self from work (we have an FDA inspection going on right now.. so several calls a day to monitor).. it is still very relaxing.

Yesterday we headed out to the beach ... we drove about 2 hours southeast and worked our way up the coast.

In the beggining of our trip, we had to get gas at Cocoa Beach and while we waited I saw this girl who had the most remarkable tattoos.  I was so intrigued by this because deep down inside I have always wanted to get a Tinkerbell tattoo.. (but then I couldn't be buried in a Jewish cemetary, even though I am not Jewish I don't like to rule out my options).. I digress.. but.. this girl has amazing tattoos... so, shy me decided to ask her if she would mind taking a picture..

And Here we are  (the picture does not do justice to the deep rich tones of the tattoos; but of course does plenty of justice in me looking wind blown.. oh well)

Any way.. she had both arms, legs, and chest done.. she said it took 120 hours.. She was very sweet.

So off we went with a full tank of gas and we landed at Vero Beach.. now this is a place where I could live.. no problem.. only the beach front homes start at about $3million..up to $8 or $10mm.. yeah.. a bit out of my price range.

So I didn't mention this before.. but earlier in the week, DH and I decided we were going to become treasure hunters (I think this was after many a few vodka and cranberry drinks.. ).. and so we went to this neat shop and bought this fancy metal detector...

And we were very anxious to set foot on the beach and take our chance at finding our pirates treasure.

So here is DH at his first attempt at looking for gold.   Well we didn't find gold, but we did pick up a few coins.  We went to 4 different beaches, and I can tell you my legs are killing me from walking through the loose beach sand ...

So today, will be some more R&R.. and, may be a bit of shopping and then. we are going to an oldies show at the pool tonight..  All in all.. a good time.
P.S.  noticed I did not write about eating or the band or any of that stuff. Because I don't know how my weight is doing (other than a trip to Publix on the Public SCALE...) but I do know that I am more than ready for another fill.. have a great day.. hugs to all..
