Ouch, Mr. Sun!


We spent our final day in Palm Beach at the beach, of course. As you can see from the photo above by Tuesday morning we had to entire beach to ourselves. I kept asking Jackson how he managed to get me a private beach on our budget. HA! :) It was so relaxing and peaceful. I guess we got caught up in the beauty of it all because I forgot to put sunscreen on my back! Yeah, we were out in the hot Florida sun from 11:00-3:00 and I did not have sunscreen on my back. I'm paying for that now. I hurt so badly you cannot even believe the pain. (I'm not being dramatic. At all. I promise. It HURTS!) Needless to say after spending the afternoon in the water I was sufficently sun-kissed killed and it was time to hop our flight home.

This was the second trip in a row that all of our flights went seamlessly even with connections on each leg. Amazing. We also booked our flights seperately because I had Delta credit to use and were never assigned seats next to one another. Each flight Jackson got us relocated to better seats and together. I swear he is the master of travel. I love it.
We recently converted to packing in duffel bags to avoid getting our bags taken away and checked when the overhead comparments are full. They do not make duffel bags go under the plane which saves us time, money and the hassel of checked baggage. Normally having a duffel is not a big deal for me but by the time we landed in Indianapolis that evening my sunburn was just killing me and carrying my bag was excruitating. Jackson took it upon himself to carry his backpack, his duffel and my (Coach brand, of course) duffel through the airport so I could limp along freely behind him with just our beach bag. Is he not the best?! I love him. I told him this was great because I got to admire him from behind (ha!) and my duffel bag (it is really pretty. Jackson got it for me in Key West at some point. I cannot recall when that was, but I use the duffel all the time and always get compliments on its cuteness!).

We got home and didn't even completely unpack and start laundry because we were exhausted and it was late. (If you know me, you know that is an incredible feat Jackson pulled off. I always unpack and start laundry right away!)We had such a great trip! I'm totally behind on laundry now but that's OK. It was worth it. :)
