We're home! We were basically traveling all day yesterday, from St. Thomas to Philadelphia and then to Boston. We grabbed luggage and went out to find our livery only to see all of the guys waiting to pick up passengers listening to the news about Bin Laden. We got in and put on the TV. Crazy!
Since we got in the house at around 11:00 and have a ton of laundry to wash and no groceries in our house, Brian and I took the day off as we usually do to get back to normal again. He's got a dentist appointment in an hour or so too.
I had a lot of fun on our trip, and we spent much less time just sitting on the beach than I expected. I did well not getting a lot of color - as I get older I want less and less sun exposure (wrinkles and cancer risk). It did remind me how much of a water baby I am and how much I love going to the beach, so I'm hoping we can do more of that this year. It also reminded me of how much I hate wearing a bathing suit for various reasons. Add to that my leprosy-like insect bites and I wanted to hide myself inside. It is very strange, that Brian is usually the one with 100 bug bites that have big, nasty, swollen reactions. The ones in St. Thomas just love me apparently (there was myself and one other woman on this trip that had these reactions).
I'm glad to be home and glad to be done with traveling for a while. It is a testament to our satisfaction with our lives when Brian and I are always happy and ready to come back.
Being out in the water and boating and snorkeling (and above mentioned body image issues) and eating fairly good, fresh food with lots of fruit and veggies has inspired me again to get back on the fitness wagon. We have a glut of Brian's Shakeology in the house due to a weird billing issue a while ago, so I'm going to start having those for breakfast. They are packed with the things that I don't often get in good quantity, despite my efforts.
Today will be filled with lots of laundry and grocery shopping and cleaning, but I'd like to get a hike along the riverwalk in there.
I cannot believe it is May!
