Vacation Hangover

I did not plan my vacation correctly.  Don't misunderstand, I had a fab time.  However, I should have gone wedding weekend first, then had a week to chillax, and read Jackie Collins.  Instead, the amount of fun friends staying at the Beach Barn escalated everyday, as did the rowdiness and noise level.
I started out the week with this hunk, then added another couple.  Then the rowdiness and the icing wars started by Tuesday.  I remained a neutral party- chugging malt liquor has had zero appeal to me since a high school flirtation with "fruity forties" aka St. Ides.
We made it through relatively unscathed, getting done up for the rehearsal dinner.
And the beautiful wedding.  I'll have ton more pics- I did not take much, as I was avoiding all electronics all week (even my trusty point and click), and there was far more avid and diligent photographers present.

Do y'all ever need a vacation from your vacation?  I wish I could take a "staycation" to work on the new house.  Too bad I have a wedding/baby shower/engagement party/shower every weekend from here until football season. Maybe I need an issue a moratorium on Hubs or I making any new friends. . .

  1. Awww, glad you are having fun! T and I feel like you guys - we travel so much, and it's exhausting being gone every weekend or having guests. We keep thinking when fall comes around we'll have our lazy solo weekends again to just BE. I'm sure with a new house to decorate the itch is even bigger!

  3. Yep, I know exactly what you mean. That's why I always try to schedule the Monday off after we arrive home from vacation, so I can decompress, get things done around the house and squeeze out as much vacation as I can in those final 24 hours before I return to the real world. :)

  4. I can totally relate. We travel or host guests nearly every weekend. That combined with our lengthy weekday commutes = a huge desire for a "staycation." Here's to finding time to relax!

  11. This post cracked me up! I actually posted the other week about needing a vacation from my vacation - it's so true that you go 200 mph on vacation sometimes and are worse off!
