“Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.”

U2 is the greatest…however (a little trivia for you) did you know that MLK Jr. was shot in the afternoon? 6:01pm to be exact. Regardless….here we are, 40 years later. Tell me you don’t get chills watching this.

Hope you are all having a great day with loved ones.

I’ve been back for a few days now and have been struggling to post images from the trip. That would be because I barely used my camera the entire time we were there! That hardly ever happens. In fact the husband and I are, normally, not really good are relaxing. On our last big trip – our honeymoon – we went to New Zealand and Tahiti, and came back more exhausted then when we left. Most people in Tahiti spent time on the beach – there isn’t that much to do…it is a place for relaxing. We went on a boat tour, swam with sharks and sting rays, and went snorkeling. Erik learned how to open a coconut with a sharp stick and a rock. My point is that we are normally very adventurous and have a hard time laying around doing nothing. Normally. It is JUST what we needed though. We stayed at the PGA National Resort & Spa in West Palm Beach and, well, they made it easy for us not to leave the resort. We don’t play golf, but we spent a couple of days at the spa….massages and luxurious exotic salt pools. We ordered room service and watched Oscar-winning movies on On Demand, and ordered chamomile tea for me, and coffee for Erik every night. It was one of the few real vacations that I ever remember taking. Here are some of the pics that I took.

Our view from our room at night – the spa pools.

I took a walk around the property one day…

Room service messed up our breakfast order one morning and later left us a fruit basket

This is how I know the husband was relaxed! I rarely see him reading.
