Yes, I was on vacation! It was a mini-vacation, but it was a vacation all the same, and I'll take what I can get. I got to spend 3 lovely nights and four days at a resort near Cable, WI. The weather was great for most of it, except for Sunday, which was rainy, windy, and cold. The rest of the days were nice though! We actually went swimming twice, and we had a blast jumping off the raft at the beach like we were 10 years old again!
We got there Friday afternoon. My fiance even let me get some exercise in before driving down there while he packed up the car. So I got to get a good swim on Friday morning before spending too much time sitting around in a car, which made me happy and started everything off right. When we got there, we unpacked and went swimming some more, as if I hadn't gotten enough before, but it was fun. Then we stuffed our faces at the Friday night fish fry at the lodge restaurant. It was great!
Saturday morning I got a run in. This was super nice because I had been "saving" my foot all week for this vacation so I would be able to run mostly pain free for the time I was at the resort. There isn't a gym or anything there, so if I wanted exercise, it would have to be running. It was a wonderful run. I think I went about five miles. The first part was really super hilly, so I got to do some unexpected major hill work. The road into the resort is really hilly, so the first three miles of my run was all climbing up and down hills. It was great! Though, I'll have to admit that after those first three miles I had to stop and rest for a minute or two because I was tired! Then I finished up with two fairly flatter miles and called it good for the day exercise wise. My foot hardly hurt at all! I was really happy about that. After that I went back to the room, and we celebrated Bronson's birthday. He got to pick all the activities we did, so we went swimming again, and we also went shopping. Then I took him out for his prime rib birthday dinner.
Sunday I went for a walk which ended up turning into a run because it was rainy and windy and cold. Rain would have been alright except for the cold and wind which was pelting mini rain bullets in my face, and it hurt! So I decided I'd had enough of that and started running just to get out of the weather. When I got back it had stopped raining, so we decided to try some fishing off the dock. It was still cold and windy though, and my fingers turned white, not blue, white. White is bad because that means my fingers are numb. If they are blue, I can still feel them. I didn't say anything though because Bronson was trying out his new fishing pole that he got for his birthday from his parents, and he was having a lot fun. Thank God it started raining and we decided to go back inside. Then Bronson made the best dinner ever cuz he's kinda awesome like that =)
Monday we came home, and there's not much to say about that other than it was a bit depressing. This was probably way more detail than anyone wanted to read about my vacation, but I had fun writing it , so there.
