Back for good

We are back from our last trip for the summer. Josh and I went to Daytona Beach, Florida, with his family. We had a great time and really enjoyed getting to spend time with his sister, Jo Anna, her family, and his mom, Anna. They go up every summer and get the same condo, which is right on the beach. We did a whole lot of nothing, which was lots of fun! I got to read a lot everyday and just finished French Women Don't Get Fat, by Mireille Guiliano. That is a GREAT book, and I highly recommend it. It's not your typical diet book. It's more like a book about a healthy lifestyle. I'll talk about that in another blog. Some highlights from the trip were:

*taking long walks on the beach with Josh (45 minutes to an hour each day)
* eating my brother-in-law, Billy's cooking (he's a great chef)...which erased all of that walking!
* driving to see the space shuttle launch, which got canceled, but still neat to see
* seeing dolphins swimming very close to shore
* make-overs with Jo Anna and Anna (Jo Anna did me, I did them)
* relearning how to do a back-dive (a 15 year old girl taught me)
* reading in a lawnchair for hours on the beach (with tons of sunscreen on), sitting right where the water comes up and spashes your legs.
* playing fun water games in the pool with Josh, Jo Anna, and Hannah
* laughing hysterically and talking with Jo Anna
* getting to be with Josh all day instead of just 2-3 hours a day
* getting to spend the night with Josh's dad, Joe, in Atlanta Saturday night
