Beach Trip

My hubby loves spontaneous trips. No plans, no reservations, not much notice- basically just go with it.
So on Thursday last week, he text me and says, " I'm off until Wednesday- we are going to the beach."
Friday morning we left.
We had no trouble getting a room and ended up on the bottom floor where we could just walk right out on the beach.
Of course, after getting settled in our room our first order of business was, naturally, Walmart where we picked up some beach essentials.
I have one word for you- umbrella. The beach umbrella was life changing for J. We already had beach chairs but no umbrella. This umbrella allowed my hubby to stay out on the beach with me for the entire time. He loved it and I ended up loving it too. I think it made me lazy because then laying out in the hot sun, with my suncreen, seemed unbearable. By the way, who knew that you could tan so well with suncreen. I did not.
For the first time ever at the beach, I did not get burned once but look like an indian( words of my Mother).

 Lovin the umbrella....

 Scruff stayed with Mom and Dad. He did get a present for being left. A frog pillow pal.

 HE LOVES IT. Now I did not pay $20 for this one. This was a cheap one I found on sale in Florida.

Since I have had Scruff, every year so far, he gets sick on my anniversary. Last year and this year, on June the 8, he has made it to the vet.  I think it is punishment for leaving him but he is really sick. Poor Scruff had to get two shots yesterday and I have to give him medicine for a while.
I don't know if he 's better yet. All he is currently doing is sleeping and whining.
