STRANDED... on our first day of summer vacation.

It's summer vacation time! The weather isn't perfect but it's warm. I have a week off work. And my son wants to get outta town.

I'll admit I wasn't really ready for it. I started a new DIY and I'm itchin' to keep at it! But we packed up the trailer anyway and sorda kinda planned to find a spot to park this week and just go romp around.

Well... the trailer lights didn't work. And then my truck stalled. Don't you LOVE it when you get those answers you pain for?

So instead of the beach, we head on down to the only vehicle fix it shop that did it all. To me, that means they can work on everything and they can drive us back home if the vehicle needs to stay. Not many places offer that, do they?

Well, not all are fortunate to have two that drive in one household. Those that cater get my money. Thank-you for listening.

Here.. allow me to show you how we spent the first day of our summer vacation.

Last year... the perfect bench in the middle of awesome.

"Wahl slap mah see ment curb, dude... "

Casual footwear is thrown aside as to have a chance to adore that beautiful hot sand.

"No honey, don't go barefoot. Glass and cigarette butts... and stuff."

Incredible natural elements brought me an award winning photoshoot that led to an amazing weekend in a high end resort. Dream material!

eeeee yup

Beauty in the simplest of objects. You couldn't help but take amazing photos.

A fire hydrant shot with the iphone... any takers?

Astounding surroundings leaving you breathless.

At least the windows weren't boarded up.

Delectable treats that full-fill your hearts desires surround you.

My son dropped his chip in my cold but tolerable coffee. I can't make this stuff up.

Simple signs become objects of appreciation, thanks to an amazing backdrop.

Weeds.... go better with coke. I guess.

Desperation and depression set in, so we went for a walk. And found this. Sweet....

But... we had to go back and wait.

And just so you know? I haven't had chips in like weeks.

I buckled today.

Depressed AND cheating on the diet. Good times.

"Mom, you look like a prison guard."

Nothing a little humorous insult won't cure.

And... the truck $tayed. So we got that needed drive home. Bless you, car shop!

Guess I'll DIY this week after all. 

How depressing...

Not. :)
