T Minus One Day Left For Vacay

It's finally here and I could not be any more excited.  Vacation time has begun and we have so much family fun planned.  I felt like the week dragged a little bit but isn't that always the case when you're anxiously awaiting something exciting? Time just seems to slow down.  But it's Friday and my sister will be here in a few hours and then tomorrow we head to our fist beach destination: Puerto Viejo here we come.

I have to just take a moment to look at my life and appreciate how blessed we truly are.  We're not rich by any means and we still have our struggles, financial and otherwise.  But to able to afford to take a family beach trip a couple of times a year is truly a blessing we don't take for granted.  And it is something we look forward to every single year.  Yes, some people take more expensive, luxurious vacations that we can't afford right now but that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. A vacation no matter how 'simple' is still a vacation.  So even though we're not traveling to Europe or going to Disney World, we're still having the best time at the beach.  Besides, one day, we'll eventually get to take those extravagant vacations.  One day we'll go on a cruise, we'll maybe even get to travel the world.  We might even go to Disney.  For now, we just feel extremely lucky to be able to take some time out of our regular scheduled lives to go on a fun beach vacation.  Beach living, soaking up the sun, eating at the most delicious restaurants and relaxing pool side is where we want to be. And life could not get any more fabulous than that.
