got back around 11:30pm from a 9 day trip to Florida and the Bahamas. I have never been so happy to see anyone as I was to see Adam standing and waiting for me in that parkinglot. This morning we laid in bed talking about raising our children until he had to go to work. I put together a fantastic random breakfast, and then watched an episode of HIMYM and now...don't know what to do with myself!
The trip itself was fun, EXHAUSTING - the Bahamas truly are beautiful, I swam with dolphins, I got incredibly sick and had to spend an entire day in the Caribbean in bed, the Magic Kingdom is a low-level rip off of Disneyland, but Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios are all awesome parks. I ate SO MUCH, exercised a couple times, and am totally and completely Disneyed out. I spent about 7 hours in a bathroom with a puking client, had to have 1 staff "discussion" realized I am not as scared of rollercoasters as I thought I was, and got 8 staff and 32 people with disabilities through LAX, to the Caribbean Beach Resort, Disneyworld, Nassau, Castaway Cay, Orlando, and back through LAX and HOME.
The absolute highlight of my trip was the day we spent in Nassau - about 15 of us took a smaller boat 30 minutes away to the Blue Lagoon island where we got to get in the water with dolphins - get hugs, dance, get kisses, take pictures - and then get pushed by our feet across the water so that we were propelled up and out of it. AMAZING. But my favorite part was after showering and changing and buying photos - we had about 1 hour to kill till the boat came back...and we wandered down to the beach where there really was white sand and turquoise-clear water, bought the best tasting coconut drinks I have ever had in my life, and laid in the HAMMOCKS HANGING FROM THE PALM TREES til the boat came to pick us up. Definitely a high point of the trip.
I was supposed to go parasailing the next day in Castaway Cay, but sadly, it was too windy. It was actually really windy a lot of the time -you could TELL there were huge waves, despite being on a humongous ship.
Anyways - it was good. At some point I will put up photos.
I'm pretty sick feeling still - and home alone. I am in nesting mode - especially after the conversation Adam and I had this morning. I think I will start with putting laundry in, feeding the dogs, picking the TANGERINES THAT ARE GROWING ON MY TREE, dusting the living room, organizing the outside of the fridge, emptying the inside of the fridge, doing dishes, cleaning the stove, cleaning my bathroom, making the bed, and generally making the house look super liveable. I will, however, allow for the fact that I am not totally well by doing all of this very, very slowly.
Okay! Go!
