My mom, kids and I are in Puerto Rico vacationing. The total escape from Minnesota’s March weather madness has inspired me to make a list of everything I love here.
- Warm sun
- Lounge chair by the pool
- Bingo at noon
- Spanish lessons
- Building sand castles
- Magazines with traces of sand in-between the pages
- Sandals and sunglasses
- Shrimp served with beans and rice
- A good book—the kind you can’t put down
- Naps
- Sipping water or iced tea or an occasional pina colada
- Dark chocolate packed for emergencies
- Fresh fruit
- No jackets
- Long walks, some runs on the beach
- Swimming in sky blue water
- No schedules, deadlines, pressures
- Free time
- Reading lots of kid's books
- Playing Yahtzee
- Playing Uno
- Going to bed early
- Watching a good movie
- Eating at a restaurant at the top of a mountain at sunset
- Being with my family
- Enjoying the change of scenery
