On Christmas Eve I swam in the Gulf of Mexico. I saw a dolphin playing near the shore. I stayed out so long that my skin is now violently, tenderly pink.
And it’s time to go home.
Wish me safe travels to the land of ice and snow, and I wish all of you a very happy day with your family and friends.











You weren’t gone long! Not nearly long enough!
You are wished safe travels, and a Happy Holidays!
“land of ice and snow”??? Now I’ve got Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” going through my head!
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs
blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to
new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla,
I am coming!
Merry Christmas
Safe travels and a happy Christmas aag. QRx
Having grown up on the gulf, I’m jealous. ;) Yes, my idea of a white Christmas involves white *sand*.
Hope you had an excellent trip and that you and your leetle ones have a great holiday!
Nothing renews a spirit quite like our little ol’ Gulf here in FL. I hope you’re going back refreshed and ready to pick up where you left off. Their sweet little faces lighting up when they see you will be so worth the trip alone.
Merry Christmas! Travel safe!
(I LOVE the current banner picture by the way. Gorgeous!)
Merry Christmas and safe travels, AAG!
I’m afraid to say it is safe to say that it is indeed the land of ice and snow that you’re returning to.
Christmas is absolutely the BEST day to fly (if that is indeed how you are traveling). No crowds and no lines! Get home safe!
No crowds? No lines?
Bwahahahhahaha!
:)
Merry Christmas, AAG. Hope you had a very relaxing time on your vacation!
Snow sucks, I vote that you stay at the beach instead.
merry christmas babe! Hey i’m also on twitter as morethemerrier if you want to follow me – i think im following you!
Merry Christmas and safe travels home.
Glad your xmas dreams for a vaca came true ;)
I truly hope you have/had safe and uneventful travel. Having just come from the land of lotsa ice and snow, I wouldn’t wish that airport horror show on anyone. Hope you had a fab vacation and enjoy Christmas with your little ones.
I hope you are safely returned, rested and refreshed. I too had a couple of days totally by myself, childfree, for the first time. Strange times.
Best wishes for the New Year x
hey AAG, left you a comment elsewhere but I thought I’d say it again here — hope you had a merry Christmas and all! I nearly forgot about your trip, and I didn’t know it was *now*! Sounds like a very fun time.
Take care that you have a safe trip back to the land of ice and snow though… I’m up in Oregon and it’s rain rain and more rain here ;)
