My Summer Vacation. Brought to you by the letter "S".

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words which you all should be thankful for in this particular situation. Instead of an 8,000 word post, I present to you all here in the blogosphere 8 pictures that best sum up my vacation last week. Quite frankly, I couldn't muster up the energy to type 8,000 words right now if my life depended upon it. [Good thing I didn't leave my flair for the dramatic at the beach, huh?] This week of going to work for 5 whole days in a row for 8 hours at a time has worn me out. I think the only remedy is a vacation.

Side note: Blogger has frustrated me beyond measure because I did not upload these pictures in this order. And I can't get them to move. I don't so much think it's the pictures' refusal to move as opposed to the operator's inability to make it happen.

Without further ado...

Starbucks.
I'm sure my mid-afternoon lethargy in this office this week has no connection to our morning and afternoon vacation ritual.
Sunrise.
Tuesday was the only morning I was not up in time for the sunrise. Primarily because I had been up since 3:00 am on Monday morning in time for the 7:15 flight.
Sand.
South Florida sand is different than North Florida sand. There's really not much that gets by me.
"Sexy" Senior Citizens in Speedos.
I'm pretty sure he was an extra in the movie "Where the Boys Are" that was set in Ft. Lauderdale. In 1960. I'm also pretty a sure that a more appropriate "S" descriptor is "scary".
Surf and Sun.
As a matter of fact, I did go through an entire bottle of SPF 45 and SPF 70 sunscreen in a 5 day period.
Sweet Snacks.
My daily Starbucks habit was aided and abetted by my daily ice cream shop habit.
Shark Attacks.
My grandma told me before we left to look out for sharks because they were coming out of the deeper waters and closer to shore. Turns out, she was right.
Standing in Line.
You know how Moses led the people through the wilderness for 40 years and he never actually made it to the promised land? I can totally relate.
In conclusion, a good time was had by all.
