What I Did Not Do On My Summer Vacation

September 5, 2017 By Linda 4 Comments

Things I did not do on my summer vacation …

Daytona Beach Shores Florida

On my summer vacation, I did not blog.

 

Clearly.

I did not read blogs. I did not check emails. I did not edit pictures. Heck, I didn’t even bring my camera (these pictures are from a trip I took to Florida in May.)

On my summer vacation, I did not ride a bike. But I did exercise in the gym in my parents condo with a little nudge nudge from my exercise partner daughter.

On my summer vacation I did not swim in the ocean. But I did drag my beach chair into the water where I read some fun beach-read novels as the tide washed over me. (The Brooklyn Girls series from Gemma Burgess, to be exact*).

On my summer vacation we did not drive (or park) on the beach in Daytona. We tried that once years ago and needed an assist from some very nice beachgoers to free our car from the sand.

On my summer vacation I did not cook. But we did eat out often … at DJ’s Deck (twice) and Crabby Joe’s and North Turn. And when not eating out, we ordered in.

On my summer vacation I did not wake up early. And I did not turn in early. I slept when tired and woke when refreshed.

 

On my summer vacation I did not take pictures of a day trip to scenic St. Augustine. But I did learn that it is considered the oldest city in the U.S. How did I not know this?

 

On my summer vacation I did have a lovely time with my husband and my children and my parents …

 

and that’s really what summer vacation is all about!

    Think what you did this past summer was amazing. We often forget to literally “unplug” and you did it with style!
