Back from the Beach, but up a bit...

Hi Everyone!  I've been gone at the beach (OBX - outer banks, NC) since Saturday.  What a great vacation, but you know what?!?!?  I missed you all!  I missed checking in with my bandster buddies to see what's happening in your lives.  At any rate, we had a GREAT time - only there about 3 full days on the beach, but sufficiently sunburned and the kids had a great time.  Here is a picture of Lucia, and her buddies Ben & Zach hanging in the water.  They thought it was the greatest thing to just sit in their chairs and let the waves hit them.  The joys of being a kid!
We had lots of fun - ate dinner out every night - and I ordered off of the appetizer menu and got a side salad - all in all, that seemed to work out well.  I don't feel like I overdid it on the meals, but the snacks and drinks in the house I think did me in.  I'm up about 3 pounds.  I'll know for sure better tomorrow morning since I normally weigh myself when I first wake up, and today it was 4 hours into the morning after coffee, water and breakfast.  I'm heading in today to get a fill, so hopefully that will get me back on track before Lucia's 5th bday party this weekend and then our trip to FL later this month. 
               
Here's a picture of us playing Mini-Golf... the parents had more fun laughing than the kids did!
And here is a picture of Candace and me - I don't like how I look on the bottom, but I realized that it is because these shorts (which last summer fit like sausage casing) are too big!  Yay!  And not looking good.  Comfortable, mind you - but not attractive.  Good problem to have I guess.  Oh - and I had a great NSV at dinner last night - we went to a place that had great T-shirts, so I bought one.  Got an XL since that is what I'm down too, but it looked REALLY big.  So they let me try one on in the bathroom, and the L fit with room to spare!  Yippee!
OK - off to the fill, swim lessons start today for Lucia, hair cut for her tonight, and of course, the after-vacation pile of laundry!!!  Look forward to catching up with everyone.
