Ft. Myer's Beach aka The Sunniest Sick Bed

Last week - or is it two weeks ago now? - I went to Ft. Myer's Beach with the nutter, the husband, the mom, the aunt, the uncle, the grandma, and the grandpa. The 8 of us packed into a two bedroom condo and prepared to enjoy our vacation. Only one day in, the nutter gets sick. Violent, massive, horribly disgusting vomiting commences as does five nights of minimal sleep because sick baby = needy baby = baby in bed with mommy and daddy = mommy no sleepy sleepy.

The same night Madison got sick, my mother got sick. The two of them were totally off their game from Sunday  night through well, through Saturday's flight back home. Wednesday, my aunt and uncle were sick all day, and Thursday, my husband was sick all day. Oh, the joys. While all of us got to spend some time on the beach or by the pool, we never really got to spend our time their together. And despite the fact that I never got sick, a sick baby means no tan for mommy. Not that I really tan, I just, you know, look less pasty and sick.

As is the way with most people, I will not be reflecting the sicknesses in any of my pictures from the vacation. Actually, looking at my pictures would suggest a fun and sun filled happy adventure:




















See, it doesn't look like anyone was sick, right? :)

  1. Awwww, you did well at concealing the vomiticiousness! At least you've got some really lovely sunny photos to look at as the less lovely and sunny technicolour memories subside, right?

    1. It's important to gloss over the bad points in life, so that when you die, your pictures reveal a fun-filled, joyful, perfect sort of life, don't you think? :)

  3. Oh gosh! I'm sorry that you all were so sick! It's been a rough year for the flu, and the only positive thing to think about it is that you guys can't get it again. I am glad that there was at least a little time for playing in the sun, as it seems like that might be hard to fit in with all the sickness and sleeplessness. Glad to hear that everyone is better now. Stay healthy over there!

  4. That is just Murphy's Law. I remember when I was a kid, the four of us left Indiana for Disney in Orlando, and all ended up puking by Bowling Green KY. So we turned around. At least you got your toes in some sand, and honestly, the nutter LOOKS like she is living large!

  12. Glad you enjoyed it, despite the bad parts. If you've gotta be sick, this is one of the better places to do it! (I live in the area, not far from FM Beach).
