Home for Hiatus!

Early this morning we packed up the two cars and headed back to Wilmington. I felt my mood lighten as I headed east towards the beach with the dogs in the back. Everything felt just as though it should be. The four hour trip seemed to last forever as I anxiously drove home to my house, family and friends for a two week hiatus. It felt so good to get home and crash on my couch.


We arrived home shortly after lunch time and after depositing the dogs and our belongings at the house, I was desperate for some food. So, we headed out to one of my favorite local places - Flaming Amy's! I crave their pineapple jalapeño salsa and that is just what I had. The have the best salsa bar around and they even bottle their salsa and ship it off to soldiers as part of their Operation Bottle Drop. If you are ever in Wilmington, I strongly suggest you check out the salsa bar at Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn. I'm not a big fan of burritos, but they have some beef nachos that are to die for. It was just what the doctor ordered!

Afterwards, we went home and I napped and just enjoyed being home. I was surprised to see the flowers still blooming in the front yard, even though the torrential downpour that Wilmington's been experiencing the last month has caused the flower beds to now be full of weeds! I had no desire to go anywhere or do anything other than just enjoy my house. I know the next two weeks are going to fly by but I'm going to try to enjoy every second of it!
