eventually travis felt like he could get up and walk. he needed food to eat with his medicine, so he and nick headed to the cafeteria while kate and i slept in. travis brought some breakfast back to the room for me and i took more medicine. travis's food and medicine didn't help him much so he ended up in bed again.
guess what. it was sunshiney! but now we were in bed like a bunch of frail, old patients.
i stayed in bed until around lunch time when i started to finally feel better. i went and grabbed lunch by myself in the cafeteria. i sat by an open window and enjoyed the sunshine. i went back to the room and checked on travis. he was still resting, but was feeling a little better. we both took another nap.
a few hours later nick and kate stopped by from the beach. we join them for another lunch -- well, it was my second lunch, but travis's first -- and then we all went to the beach after.
kate and i read while travis and nick laid in the chairs next to us for a while. travis had to head back in because he wasn't feeling too well. nick and kate finally pulled out the paddle ball kate and i had purchased earlier in the week. they played for a while and it was fun to watch them laughing and having such a good time. then the sun started to hide, so it turned a little chilly. it looked like more storms were moving in. kate and i got in the water for a little bit to try to warm up {weird when the ocean water is warmer than sitting on the beach}. when travis came back out to the beach, i was lying under my towel like it was a blanket, finishing the last of lean in.
we could tell the skies were really getting ready to open up, so we decided to head back in. travis and i took warm showers ... and promptly fell asleep at 5:30 in the afternoon. just sign us up for the retirement home. sounds like we would fit right in. we had dinner in the cafeteria and drinks in the cabana bar, but no one felt like staying out late. i felt kind of bad because it was our last night of vacation, and we were all headed back to the room at a pretty early hour. everyone was tired, though, so staying up would have just ended up making us all miserable.
i'm still so grateful that travis and i were able to take this trip away, even if everything wasn't picture perfect. we're blessed to be able to get away, especially with everything that as been going on over the past few months. and we have awesome, awesome friends to share these adventures with.
