I promised a month of one-minute vacations, and I will not let you down. Well, I might let you down if you don't enjoy the same things I do!
So today we're headed to the beach, because when I think vacation, I think beach. White sand, warm sun, gentle breeze, slight sea fragrance, children laughing, and a deep sense of contentment. Ahh...I'm more relaxed already.
Look at the clear water. I can easily picture myself as one of these swimmers, and I can almost feel the water pouring over me as I doggy paddle my way around. Serious swimming is not my idea of vacation. We can add a few rafts and fruity drinks to the picture if you'd like.
Or what about this dock leading to rest? I'm positive each of those tiny huts has a king-sized bed with ultra-comfy bedding for me to snuggle into. There are no demands here, only pampering. And look, there are lots of huts, plenty for each of us.
Now that I've had my nap in my own special hut, I'm ready to venture out again. But who wants to spend a vacation alone? Consider yourself part of this group hug!
I'm so glad you stopped by to spend your one-minute vacation with me!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Oh wow, that first picture had me wishing I was Mary Poppins and could jump into pictures. Wow, me thinks I need a beach!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vacation! I feel peaceful just looking. :)
Happy Friday Jill!

The beach is a perfect vacation. I love watching the waves and listening to the sound of the water. Smells? Don't forget the delicious aroma of fried clams. Erica, stop making that yuck face!

Beautiful minute away from reality, Jill! Right now, my husband is in Hawaii. He's been there about three days and, despite work, has been to the beach several times and snorkeling twice. I'm SO jealous. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Thank you for this brief respite from the darkest month of the year!
ReplyDeleteI feel warmer already!
ReplyDeleteI walked out on the dock of the second picture, took a deep breath and reminded myself of who is in charge. My God has always provided. He has showered me with blessings.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are one of those blessings.

The sea, the salt air, sunlight sparkling on the water ... a little bit of heaven on earth. I think I'll grab my tube and float around in picture one for awhile :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take them all. First a nap in one of those comfy beds you mentioned, then a swim and a fruity drink in the arms of my kids and husband. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THOSE PICTUES!!! Is that Bora Bora with the huts on the water?
ReplyDeleteAhhh, reminds of our honeymoon in St. Lucia.......
I absolutely want to visit that second picture. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteExcellent vacay, Jill.
I feel more relaxed already. Thanks, Jill!
ReplyDeleteI feel more relaxed already. Thanks, Jill!
ReplyDeleteNice pics! Wah... wish i was there. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my word... would LOVE to go there! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJust the trip I need. The water looks breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I'm talking about! :O)
ReplyDeleteThat was the best vacation I've had all week. I think I might have to indulge in it at least one more time today. It's freezing here in Colorado!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Jill! We're on the same wavelength - give me warm sunshine and a sandy beach and I'm on vacation! Napping ranks way up there, too! Thanks for the one-minute vacay!! :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is the time of the year I'd love to be in Florida. I'm more of a sightseeing gal than a beach person. Disney, Sea World, and The Holyland Experience are my idea of a fun time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Susan :)
Good afternoon! Alas, I'm not on vacation... I'm still trying to fix my computer. A virus killed it, but I'm slowly bringing it back to life. At least I was able to get online today!
ReplyDeleteI think we should all just hop on a flight and skiddaddle to that beach! Right now!
(And Ralene--I'm jealous of your husband. I can't even imagine what you're going through!!)
Thanks so much for sharing a tiny vacation with me! Here's to warm sand!
Ah, I love the beach. Thanks for taking us there.
ReplyDeleteSusan M: You are very welcome!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
How much do I love you? I so needed that today! May God bless your every hearts desire. XOXO (big hug right back at you!)
ReplyDeleteOh Jill! I needed this. I'm sitting back, relaxing, watching the water, having a massage. WOOHOO. Thanks! :) What can I do for you?
ReplyDeleteI feel so refreshed. Thanks for the mini vacation Jill! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteT.Anne: You just threw a big smile on my face! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteRobyn: I love the idea of a massage--let's make that happen!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Ellie: You know, I do too! We must have really needed that ocean, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Awesome idea, and wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog today--not sure how I missed it--and I REALLY enjoyed your posts. One minute vacations, what a great idea! So I hope you don't mind that I'm following your blog now. :)
ReplyDeleteDanyelle: Hope everythings getting back to normal for you!
ReplyDeleteShannon: Welcome! And are you kidding me? I love new followers--it's going to be fun getting to know you!
