Vacation - Day Last

- I watched more TV this week than I have in the past year.

- I spent at least 80% of my "awake" time outside...this does not completely contradict the first point.

- I ate with reckless abandon, and I'm pretty okay with that.  My stomach will probably spend a good week recovering from the onslaught of seafood and starches.

- I am slightly upset that I did not find a good local coffee shop until the last day.

- My eyes have completely given up on focusing.

- Every part of my body that is not my arms or legs has yet to understand the concept of a "suntan".  My shoulders are sort of aware of this phenomenon.  My torso is lobster-esque, but somehow not painful.

- Always get a hotel on the boardwalk.

- Always get a hotel with a balcony or patio (with an ocean view).

- Trip Advisor was incredibly helpful in picking out both Mexican night and Sushi night.

- I took less pictures than I had thought I would.

- I was that weirdo that raised his hands in celebration during dinner when my phone informed me that the Pirates won in 14 innings.

- I hate packing.

- I'm ready to go home, but that feeling will surely change when I actually get home.

There's fun in the distance.

Vacation - Day Five/Six

Two generally blah days in a row = two days of naps.  Plans to ride the Rocket (a large-capacity speedboat) were thwarted the past two days, and since we're leaving early in the morning tomorrow, it looks like such an event will have to wait until our next trip to the beach.

Most of the last 48 hours have been spent sleeping or eating, with occasional trips to the pool.  So commentary will be at an all-time low.  But I did get some pictures of dragonflies.  So I suppose everything evened out.

On the bushes outside our patio.

On the hedges in front of the boardwalk.

Same hedge, different dragonfly.

I was jealous.

Anonymous sleepy feet.

And this bird you cannot change.

Like a homing bird, I'll fly.

Stormy weather.

Happy feet.

Stormy Weather v2.0

Thank god we got there before the rice ran out.

This will give me strange dreams.  I guarantee it.

Aw, I WANTED to bring along my hobo, but Mom said they wouldn't be welcome.
