Much Needed Vacation

We boarded a plane and headed south, thus beginning a much welcomed vacation. While some friends were in the States, we stayed at their place. (Thanks A&K!) It was close to some great restaurants and had a pool in the complex. However, the week began with some rain so we found an indoor play place.
No pictures of Meg here - I think she's buried in the ball pit.

Most mornings were spent reading. So relaxing. This was their favorite reading spot.

Meg displays my favorite reading spot.

And sometimes Val would come visit me. Always glad to have her.

One morning, Meg and Val ventured outside to explore in the rain. They had fun catching rain in their mouths ... until someone parked their car in their spot.
The driver is definitely getting 'the look.'

Vacation is all about eating highly nutritious cereals.

And about having healthy snacks.

And about hanging out and being silly.

And about getting our fill of western food. Here's their mode of delivery. Nice.
Lia enjoys their hot, lemon water. Never mind the fact that it's 80+ degrees outside.

With all this healthy eating, a trip to the dentist doesn't seem necessary, but we went anyways.
Do dental hygienists in the States wear high heels?

The weather cleared, and we were off to the massive pool.

Val pauses for a sweet smile.

Smiles (clean ones at that) due to a very fun vacation.
