Here we are in Miami. The weather has been warm and sunny. We are across the street from the beach where I run every morning and where we swim in the afternoons, and I made key lime pie tonight. I have been with my dad, my brother and my husband, who all enjoy cooking, So I haven’t made a meal. Sounds like a vacation, right?
This is the first vacation we’ve taken post baby. And while we’ve gone to the beach a few times, it’s definitely a different vacation experience. First of all, our days are ruled by M’s naps. He still takes 3/day, so we often try to be in a place where he can sleep. Secondly, when we go to the beach, Fabio and I can’t go in the water together, as it’s too cold for M (it’s also too cold for me, so this isn’t really a problem). But we now have to bring a sun umbrella with us, as well as all of M’s gear. Third, we (I) are in bed early, because M gets up early. Usually, we’re in bed around 8:30! Vacation?!
Tonight is New Year’s Eve. It is 10:30, so I’m up past my bedtime. I can feel sleep tugging at my eyelids, but Fabio has asked me to stay awake until the ball drops. I’ll try my best.
I can’t complain about our stay; the weather has been beautiful and we’ve eaten well. I guess this is how our vacations will be for the coming years…
