a mandatory beach day

With all craziness the team decided a beach day was in order. They needed to relax and it is almost sinful to NOT enjoy the crystal clear ocean here before making your way back to the city grime of Chicago. J and I were more than happy to join them for the afternoon without kiddos after Doro graciously offered to watch our girls. Yeah! We hired a small boat, crammed all our junk on, and set off to a small island we have been known to frequent and bring our friends. We fed turtles, snorkeled, swam, laid in the sun, chased crabs, collected shells, ate mangoes, cucumbers and home made hot sauce, read, and talked all things here and there. It was a good day. Like amazing.
