How lovely to be a woman . . .
In anticipation of our beach vacation, I got a manicure and a pedicure today. More than an hour of sitting on my duff in a massage chair while people rubbed my skin with scented lotion, dipped my hands in a paraffin wax, and tinted my nails a rosy shade of pink. Ahhhhhhh. I feel like a pretty pretty princess! Let's hope the results, which I think are quite nice, hold up to a week of sand, surf, and sun.
As I have been packing for our little trip, which will be baby's first vacation, I've come to a realization. The days of throwing a pair of panties in a bag and hitting the road are over. Traveling with a baby is like being a turtle. It takes forever to get anywhere, and you have to take your whole house with you. Already, the list includes the pack and play (to sleep in), a stroller, a blanket to play on, toys, bottles and formula, snack food, bibs, the crib toy (which he LOVES), floppy hats, tons of sunscreen, outlet covers, a floatie for the pool, the list goes on (and on and on and on). I think we will leave some of it at home and buy it on site. Eeesh.
At any rate, I'll be out for a while, so no blogging until closer to the end of the month. In the meantime, enjoy your summer!
