Father's Day Weekend

We made the drive to the beach last night, stopping along the way to see my parents & capping off the night with a Costco run for supplies. It was actually a relaxing drive, and with 2 kids in the car for four hours, that can't be said very often. :-)

The boys are officially done with "preschool", and they'll be starting "summer school" on Monday. We headed to the beach to celebrate the end of school, Michael's birthday, & Father's Day.

I had another vomit-inducing workout with my trainer yesterday - she is hard core! I ate well, and all that jazz. Today I'm hanging on to 1600 calories by the skin of my teeth, and using all the self-control I possess not to have a s'more. Wish me luck. I did have two glasses of wine on the deck in the sunshine + a goat cheese appetizer, so life is good.

We went to the state park across the street from the beach house and rode bikes (minus me, with the fractured foot & all), climbed san dunes, & enjoyed the sunshine. . . Today in pictures:

Sticks are necessary for climbing to the top of the san dunes. . .

Can you see the two boys at the top of the hill? They weren't sandy *at all* by the time they rolled down. . . ahhhhh, summer vacation :-)

A gorgeous day at the beach. . .

Michael - relaxing at the beach

Yeah, I have pretty awesome beach hair going on here. You're envious, I know. :-)

Outfit details:

• Crazy hair - courtesy of the beach weather
• Sunglasses - Coach
• White hoodie - from a combination grocery store/all purpose store on a cold day when I was stuck without a jacket

Glamorous, I know. :-)

Life is good, and, as usual, I'm completely enjoying the beach experience. It's always relaxing to be here. I'm hoping to get in a strength workout tomorrow, but I must admit that today would have been the PERFECT running day on the beach, & I was a little sad that I was missing it. Oh well, plenty of time for that. I did hit the bumper cars with the kids, and that's totally a calorie burner. Right? ;-)

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! Anyone racing or doing long runs this weekend? Let me live vicariously through you!
