Getaway with T-bone


Well, after the OVERWHELMING jealous response (lol) I finally have a free moment to share a little about our weekend trip.
I get that most of us don't take time to sneak away with our spouse minus the kiddos.....But, let me remind you ALL....it had been 4 years and 9 months since our last "time out".

We went out to St. Petersburg Beach in Florida, the water is clear aqua blue and the sand is silky soft underneath your feet, the smell of sea air, oh how I miss it. The breeze was nice enough to keep the sweat off, but not enough to make us cold. The water in the pool was perfect, the beach water was a tad chilly for my blood (Southerner). If you want a place to stay that looks like the Bahamas at a fraction of the price, without a passport, contact me, I got the low down!

T-bone and I had a blast people watching, drinking fruity tropical drinks (ok, that was just me) and eating delicious fresh seafood, we went to breakfast at a local joint called the Frog Pond. We had dinner at an awesome fancy restaurant...complete with appetizers, yummy cocktails and divine entrees. There was even a 20 minute firework show just for us, and this couple that got married on the beach, but really, it was just for us, we're special like that.

One of my favorite stories to tell was about this group of housewives. On this particular day, it was "lingerie day" at the beach....they were sauced. Although funny, really, are they 20? I cannot remember a time in my life that I though, HUH, you know, I have never done shots all day on the beach....I think I will add that to my list of MUST DO IN LIFE.

T-bone, well, he is always up for a challenge. He can hang, he can. He has his whiskey in his flip flops. Oh yeah, who needs a shot glass ski, when you have the comfort of Reef flask flops!

  6. WAIT...you had drinks on the beach, swam in a pool without a child attached to your neck, AND had an entire meal without cutting up someone's food or giving "bites" of your food to someone else??

    It is almost too much for me to bear...I'm living vicariously through you right this moment.

    I can almost smell the salt air...mmmm...wait, that is the cat box. Back to reality!

  9. Everyone would hate me if they realized that since I'm divorced, my kids visit their dad every other weekend. This means DH and I have time alone together EVERY OTHER WEEKEND. And we make the most of it!

  11. My brother has those flip flops and they crack me up!
    And the HMIM's will NEVER look like that, NEVER! And if we do, please let our friendship be strong enough to suggest a skirted swimsuit!

  12. Hey girls, those Flask Flops are a size 13! I think we could party with the amount of alcohol those babies hold. Who needs a ski team? Plus, we've got Hot Moms In Minivans! They ain't got nothin' on us!!!
