The Gulbas Years: Vacay to Key Largo

Jeff and I haven't been on a vacation together since our Honeymoon to Italy last June.... so needless to say, we were long over due. We planned the trip long before Jillian even arrived and my mom kept telling me how hard it would be to leave her. And boy was she right. We missed out little punkin dearly, but loved being away and having our own lazy schedule.

My parents were wonderful to keep her the 4 days we were gone. Thank you!! My mom just recently learned out to text, and now she's addicted to it :) She sent me 5-6 texts every day updating me on Jillian.

We went the weekend before Halloween, no way were we missing dressing Jillian up! We took off Thursday and came back Sunday afternoon; it certainly wasn't a long trip, but just long enough with a 4 month old at home. We spent our vacay sleeping in, going out to eat, reading books and of course laying out on the beach!

Friday we went fishing most of the day. Yes, I do love to fish although I will not touch the bait or the fish. So I'm by no means a professional Angler.

I had to include the following picture for these reasons: 1. No, our guide was not a terrorist. 2. the Spanish Mackrel (no idea how to spell that) has razor sharp teeth, just like a piranha, and our guide had that thing about 6 inches from my face. Really?! Like I said, I don't touch fish, let alone want one with teeth near me or my face. 3. The fact our guide put that belt on me, cracked me up. That was the biggest fish we caught all day, I didn't need the belt. At least I didn't think so.

Lazy day reading and getting some much needed sun. Even with applying SPF 30 multiple times a day, I came home with a nasty sunburn. Guess that happens when you spend all summer indoors.
