  13. The fireworks were real. I don't know what the occasion was, maybe a wedding or something.

    I do love heels, but they don't love me. I managed to stay in mine for the evening but after that it was straight back to my sensible shoes and orthotics! Ugly, but keep me able to actually walk.

  18. Oh my ... sounds MARVELOUS ;-)
    I love the macro pink blossoms and am wondering what they're called because they look a lot like the flowers blooming around my palm tree currently.
    Hugs and blessings,

    The flowers look luscious - trying to remember the name. Looks so familiar. Glad you had such a fun getaway!
