Every New Beginning: And, We are Back...in Less Than 24 Hours

After our very brief trip home, Ben and I came straight back to our "other" home. After a stop at Sephora (for new foundation and I discovered the BEST FOUNDATION EVER and Stilla Stunning in Sayulita blush and eye shadows) for make up and a walk around the mall, Ben and I made our way down 17 in the pouring rain. Shortly afterwards a friend of Belinda who has become a good friend of mine, Hilda, also arrived. She and Belinda came over for dinner that evening and it was great to catch up.

Wednesday was cleaning day. That evening Belinda came back over for dinner and Glenn arrived for a long weekend. (He was also there for a business conference up in NC on Thursday.) Ben wanted to go to the pool so we did some evening swimming before going fora long walk around our neighborhood.

On Thursday Glenn went off to NC for his conference and we went back to Ocean Club for swimming and lunch with Belinda and Hilda. (I was thrilled to eat my fave beach lunch there again....blackened fish sandwich sans bread!) When Glenn got back he and I met the girls at Ruth's Chris for dinner. We also discovered a Red Box right up the street so we had picked up a couple of DVDs to watch.

After another movie on Friday morning and some shopping, we had a late lunch at Abuelo's, a Mexican place at Coastal Grand Mall. Typically, we aren't fans of "chain" Mexican, but the Diablo Cheese dip here is too good to pass up! For the remainder of our final summer beach weekend we spent lots of time at the pool, had dinner with Glenn's dad and Belinda at Prime, cleaned and headed back to Columbia for our final trip of the summer and then.....back to the real world of work.
