Paradise Lost

Our family was lucky to escape winter for a few days last week. We made our way to the warm and sunny beaches of Grand Cayman Island. My husband goes for business meetings and we all tag along. My kids were obviously thrilled because they got out of school for a week. I think we all needed the escape. The ever increasing amounts of snow and gray was taking its toll on all of us.

We swam, lounged, and drank virgin daiquiris by the pool. We ate and ate and ate enough for many weeks, but it is hard to resist the wonderful fish and sticky toffee pudding. If you've never tried it, you must. I recommend it paired with vanilla ice cream.

I was hoping to share some of my own photos, but my camera decided it wanted to take a dip in the ocean too. So I'm off to buy a new camera this week.

Now that I'm relaxed and refreshed, I'll be starting some new beading projects and will start sharing as soon as I've gotten a new camera.
