Seven Mile Beach

We ventured to the other side of the island this morning for church and decided to explore Seven Mile Beach for a while.

This time of year, Sunday is the day of the week to visit Georgtown, the main tourist area, since there are no cruise ships in port. Sunday is also the day that grocery stores and other shopping areas are closed though.

We had the whole beach almost all to ourselves.

Just Another Day At The Beach

Rum Point

Even on vacation, Micah wakes up at the crack of dawn. We're used to it though. We ate some breakfast and drove about a mile down the road to Rum Point, the same beach we fell in love with back in January.

Tom is starting to get the hang of driving on the opposite side of the road, but I remind him every time we get in to "keep left". I think by the time we leave here, he'll have the windshield wipers and blinker figured out. They're backwards too.

I found this piece of treasure while I was walking on the beach this morning. It's equivalent to roughly $12 USD.

Yes, he's still two and we had to get creative with our time-out location...

And this is what my boys did for most of the day....
We stumbled upon this shady spot on the side of the road today and took a detour for a few minutes.

Oh, and before I forget, thank you for all of the Birthday cards, messages, texts, and well wishes this past Tuesday. I will cherish the next three hundred and sixty-something days I have left in my 20s!

A Little Get-Away

I think we have found a little piece of paradise. My boys and I have escaped to the Cayman Islands for a long weekend. Back in January while on a cruise, we stopped for the day in Grand Cayman. It was B-U-tiful! And we decided that we must make a return trip to really explore.

When my birthday began to approach, we started looking for a beach close to home, preferably within driving distance or with cheap airfare from DFW for a quick vacation. Well, it turned out that it is the off season for the Cayman Islands and we struck up an excellent deal with a condo owner on VRBO. It was cheaper to come here than stay in the US. So, here we are and we're loving it.

Did I mention that we're staying at the yacht club? On the water? With an infinity pool about 15 steps from our screened in porch? Yes, we've found a little piece of paradise.

I'll be back with more to share soon. I need my rest so I can lay in the sun all day tomorrow...and the next day...and the next too!

Life With A Two-Year-Old

After work today, Tom and I met at Target to pick up some groceries together. Of course Micah came along too. When we were leaving the parking lot, I had the groceries and Micah in the car with me. Tom was in the 4Runner. Tom heads in one direction to the main road. I turn the other direction to use the side street and the red light to enter the main road. The following conversation takes place between me and Micah.

Micah: Where's my Daddy?

Me: He turned the other way, but he'll meet us at home.

Micah: Oh. Where's my Daddy?

Me: He's taking a different route home.

Micah: Where's my Daddy?

Me: He's on the main road.

Micah: Where's my Daddy?

Me: I don't know.

Micah: Where's my Daddy?

Me: Micah, please don't ask Mommy that question again.

Micah: Mommy, where's Tom?

Me: :/

Sprinkler Park

On Father's Day we spent a little time splashing around at the sprinkler park. And what a great time we had!
