{So...a recap of The Vacation. Complete with pictures.}
Man, I love vacation. A chance to escape all the worries, all the details, all the ins and outs of Life. Dan commented several times throughout the weekend: you look so happy! And I was. Really, really happy.
Not to say I am not happy in my every day life. I really am. But this move, all the changes -- it's just a lot right now. It's been weighing on me, I think.
So to escape it all for a few days...
...disappear into the simple, lovely life of a sleepy beach town...
...get on a bikes, cruise around town with the wind and sand in our hair...
...walk to main street every night for a scoop of ice cream...
...sit in a funky beachy coffee shop, sipping on iced coffees and planning out the day: beach, books, stroll, dinner, scrabble, sleep...
...it really does wonders for the mind/body/heart/spirit.
New York was always a dream. I never thought it was something I could or would actually do, but it was fun to think about. And then life took some unexpected turns and I found myself free and single and brave (delirious?) enough to do something crazy. The only thing that made sense was to pack up and leave. And follow The Dream. So here I am, living the dream, breathing in New York City air every day, loving every minute of it (for the most part). These are my musings on Life in The City. *Update: And then I got married. And moved to Boston. Then back to New York. And had a baby. Then a brain tumor diagnosis followed by brain surgery. Then moved to Florida. Whoa! I know. It's a lot. Follow me as I navigate this new, crazy beautiful life in the sunshine state, trying to find balance with my home life, maintaining good health holistically, making music and making art....all while still dreaming of that favorite city of mine (NY).
