Some photos from my vacation!
The resort had a small dock:
View from the second floor -- lovely:
We caught a sunset at the beach one of our first nights,
Ready for the beach the next day;
I have had this little sun dress from Forever21 forever now, and it never gets old.. It's the cute apple retro print.
Flip-flops in the sand;
The buys played some catch while I sun-tanned:
Scary view from our bedroom balcony:
The weather was nice most of the time, but it drizzled towards the end--
So we played poker, because we forgot Monopoly,
I won all games
That's all. Suppose I didn't take that many pictures!!
We spent so much time just resting and doing nothing at all.
It was exactly what we needed..
I also saw all of Season 2 of "Mad Men."
I had seen Season 1 and found the wardrobe impeccable, but the story-telling -- bad. Not in the sense that it is uninteresting: the bulk of the show's drama is made up pretty exclusively of extra-marital affairs, and some schnooze about the behind-the-scenes of the advertising world of the late 1950s/early 1960s -- BUT. It is all told at such a slow pace, it is bothersome. If I had to watch this show week to week, I would probably learn to knit.
Which is why I just wait for the seasons to be over, out on DVD, and available at Blockbuster.
Even so, the pace is still too slow.
But the show is gorgeous to look at -- and I adoreadore Joan (Christina Hendricks), while Betty (January Jones) is so much of a Grace Kelly I can't help but like her, even if her character is a bit the antithesis of the female leads I prefer. I'm waiting for their answer to Audrey Hepburn.
