If only my suitcase were bigger…
We’re home. So much more on our trip later. Today, though, I’ve been thinking about the things I wish I could’ve brought back with me. Now, I have a big suitcase. Big and orange. I never mistake it for someone else’s. In fact I never have a problem fitting everything in it. The problem comes with the 50-pound weight limit!
Anyway, despite my huge suitcase I couldn’t fit the things I wanted most. Here they are, in no particular order.
- the king bed It was SO comfortable! Our bed here is a hand-me-down and needs to be replaced. This bed, though? Heavenly!
- the pillow Again, just incredibly comfortable. If the waves weren’t pulling me out of bed (or the kids, which is more realistic), I could’ve stayed in bed all day!
- The view I took pictures, but nothing beats being there, hearing the surf, watching dolphins, seeing the sun rise and set.
- The sand The sand in Florida is white and gorgeous. I’d rather see that kind of white out of my window 90% of the time! (I do love a good snowstorm every once in a while.) Not only that, but sand is nature’s best exfoliator! My feet are soft and smooth!
- My parents When I left they told me I wouldn’t have to cook for three weeks. And I didn’t. I got to have some time alone every day to walk the beach or run to Target. We chatted, we played on the beach, we teased each other. I would love to have them closer.
- My brother and his family I loved watching Baby Girl play with her cousins. I loved hearing her tell me she loves them. Before this trip, she didn’t really know who they were. And I loved watching her tease her uncle. Besides, it sure would be nice to have more family nearby.
See? These things couldn’t all fit in my suitcase. But I sure wish they could!
Ugh. I know, girl, I know. I’ll be saying it in a couple of weeks. Going to try to enjoy it while it lasts!
