i'm confused. you went to a beach resort for a couple of days by yourself? i can't believe they iced down the water. how amazing.
ReplyDeleteyes i went alone. dad isnt a beach person and i wanted to check out other places so it was a good opportunity since he had a trip to shanghai. why not! i'm good at it.
ReplyDeletegood for you. Happy Mother's day. Sounds like you've had the best mother's day ever (no cleaning up after kids)
