We have returned home after a fantastic week in Aruba. We had many great adventures. We saw beaches, lighthouses, caves, cliffs, sea life, scorpions, sunsets, amazing plant life, and mosquitoes (many, many mosquitoes!) We saw so many wonderful things, I am filled with ideas and inspiration for so many new things to create. It was a great time with great friends and wonderful family. A spectacular way to recharge and set the tone for 2011. Of course, we are incredibly thankful for the wonderful week, and incredible oppurtunty to explore such a beautiful place.
I must say, no matter how great the vacation, it is always amazing to me how wonderful it feels to be home again. To sleep in our own beds, shower in our own shower, and fall back into our own well-worn spots on the couch. The picture of Little V sitting in her bedroom re-aquainting herself with her sincerely missed toys is not something I will soon forget.
I know it sounds silly, but I even missed my knitting needles. You see, Big V gave me this beautiful yarn for Christmas and I spent much of our vacation dreaming of what I would create. After 7 attempts (not joking, each time it was knitted to a length of at least 5 inches, then completely torn apart) I have finally settled into a pattern for this beautiful yarn. I am so looking forward to the completed project. (The thought of the finished project is also helping me to adjust back to winter temperatures after a week of 85 degree heat!)
...and never forget about the pot-holes, lizards, and that song that will forever remind me of Little-V snacking her hips:
