I get to see my sister Tara often here in Texas or in random cities across the nation throughout the year, but not so often do I get to visit her on her own soil. Of course the girls always want to go visit "Aunt Tary" and go to the beach, but I decided that instead this time I would just hop on a quick flight alone and spend a weekend doing big girl things like shopping, eating and running!
I convinced my mom to take a break too so the three of us enjoyed a long weekend doing whatever we fancied. One morning we woke up early and drove down to Miami Beach and got our exercise participating in the Live Ultimate Ocean Drive Run. We all run a 5k or farther every morning anyway so it was fun to run along the ocean and chat about all the weirdos racing that morning. Of course anyone who knows my mom would not be surprised to hear that she qualified for the silver medal in her age group so we waited for the awards ceremony with fruit and muffins in the white sand and cheered as Mrs. United States and the Dolphins Cheerleaders hung the medal around The Great Jeanene's neck.
We shopped till we dropped, ate tacos, bought shoes and formal dresses, ate more tacos, went to the movie and just had fun being together. It was a quick weekend trip and I came home rejuvenated and rested...which was needed since Ben and both girls met me at the airport mid-morning, skipping school with their pjs still on and crying with head colds and ear infections. Thanks Ben for letting me sneak away!
**And since I had no small children with me, I guess I never took out my camera!
