micro vacation

tuesdays are my day off. the intention of that was so that i could schedule wedding appointments and get some planning done on that day. well, zak actually ended up with the day off on tuesday as well, so we took a much needed micro-vacation. we didn't go anywhere more than a 10 min drive, but it was a nice getaway.

during the afternoon we went golfing, which we haven't had the chance to do since february with my parents. zak and i really enjoy getting out and doing this, but just never have the time together to do as such. the front nine i did great (for me anyways) and zak and i actually tied. the back nine, zak did amazing and i stunk like death! he pulled away and killed me by about 14 or so strokes. i did hit 100 even... not bad for me, but i was really hoping to golf under 100 that day!

after golfing we headed home and picked up ken and packed up some snacks and drinks and went fishing. now, i'm not really good at FISHING... i get bored unless i'm CATCHING or at least getting lots of hits on my line. so my mission is always to catch the bait fish the boys use to catch the big fish. i caught about a dozen little guys and it started getting dark and i couldn't really see anymore and the boys stopped using my bait as they'd switched to artificial lures. right around sunset is feeding time and there were some big fish moving around... they had me on lookout duty. they never caught anything and we were all hungry, so we packed up the gear and walked to the restaurant next door for some dinner.

after that we came home and watched a few episodes of some of our favorite tv shows and then headed to bed.

it was a great day and a much needed getaway from the stress and excitement of work/wedding planning. i love living here in florida... always something to do when there's nothing to be done and beautiful weather 95% of the time. days off from work can almost always be micro-vacations!
