Here is a little recap of our trip...
Friday night we headed to one of our friends wedding in OK and it was so nice to see all our OBU friends.. and the wedding was beautiful!
We didn't get back to Bentonville until about 11 and still had to load the car. We finally got in bed around 12 and we got up at 5:00 and left for Florida!!
We got to our condo at about 5:00 and my parents we tired as well, so we just ordered pizza and sat out on our balcony. We were on the 16th story penthouse of this condo and it was so nice!! We had our own huge balcony and hot tub!
After dinner, we noticed some dark clouds moving in and we could see everything so well being up on the 16th floor. It kept getting closer and the wind really picked up. My dad went outside to move some of our furniture inside b/c the wind was so bad and right when he did the wind blew our chairs across the balcony! We were all watching out the window and the next thing we see is our glass top to the table lift up and fly across the balcony. It shattered everywhere and glass went all over the balcony and over into the pools below. It was the worst storm I have ever seen, and I think being up that high made it worse.
All the glass!
They ended up having the close the pools the next day because of all our glass went in it and they had to come clean our balcony. It was a mess!
The rest of the week, was pretty much relaxing on the beach!! I love more than anything to relax in the sun and just lay out.. I could literally do it all day every day. Sunday and Monday we were in the sun a lot, but we were down on the beach and I had not got burned at all yet. Tuesday, I decided to lay up on our balcony for the morning. I was out there for about 3 hours and then we went and got smoothies. When we left, Mitch noticed I had a rash on my neck, but I didn't think anything of it. As the day went on I noticed I get scratching my neck and chest and was very uncomfortable, so I went in early. When I got to the condo, I was broken out in hives all over my chest. I thought it had to be something I put on that I was allergic to. The next day, the same thing happened, but it spread al down my arms and to my stomach. I had little bumps all over me but I noticed as the day went on, whenever I would get in the sun, the would whelp up. By Wednesday afternoon, I was so uncomfortable and itching like crazy, so we went and got it checked out. They said it looks just like sun poisoning, and that there was not much to do except take some medicine for it. They said being in the sun won't hurt me any, but it will juts be very itchy and take longer to heal. Since I was on vacation in Florida, I did not want to stay completely out of the sun, so I just went out for periods of time and since my chest was so bad, I had to keep a towel over it.
I got some pretty interesting looks ha!
So that was the downfall to our vacation, but I still enjoyed every bit of it. I still have a rash on my stomach and chin, and hoping it goes away soon!
Here are some other highlights of our trip..
We ate at Five Guys...
We got smoothies almost every day that were delicious..
We had some amazing seafood...
We ate breakfast at our favorite place in Destin, The Donut Hole, and they make the best Key Lime pies so we brought one back for dessert! (please excuse my shirt.. I had to put this medicine cream all over my body and so Mitch cut one of his shirts, so it wouldn't touch where I was irritated ha)
We watched fireworks over the Harbor...
That was our trip in a nutshell. We had an amazing time and it was nice to be off work for a week. I love Florida and can't wait til we go back!
Tonight, Caleb came over, we grilled out steaks and sweet potatoes, and I made a dessert!
We finished up dinner and are now watching the Mavs game! I am excited to get back to work tomorrow, but not excited about having to get up at 5 :( Mitch is off until Friday then he starts ICU! I hope y'all have a wonderful week!!
