Let's go to the Beach! Let's Go Get Away!

Good morning!

Greetings Horizontal Stripers!

     I want to apologize for the long hiatus! Kelly and I went to relax and let our hair down, or rather put it up in a turban at the beach last week, and I relaxed so much I didn't properly blog. Please forgive me! Now we're back with tans, freckles, and ready to run our 0.0 marathon after all the of carbs we consumed. Time to get back to the business of Horizontal Stripes! We didn't make any fashion milestones unless you count the number of consecutive days we wore yoga pants, but we did have a great time! Check out our adventures below:

 Kelly, being the overachiever, showed us all up by learning to captain the USS Carbohydrate.

I, on the other hand, chose to overachieve in different ways.

For all you science nerds out there like me, guess who we saw scuttling around?

This guy! Hermie, the ghost crab 

We saw a lovely brick lighthouse, which was the first I'd ever seen that wasn't striped black and white.

Kelly and I joking around about how it must've been to trot out to the outhouse back in the day.

Speaking of trotting, meet Kelly's new wild horse friends: Sparkles, Rainbow, Cupcake, and Andrea!

    Last, but certainly not least, a montage of beach pictures

    

    There's nothing like being at the end of the earth to remind you of how small you are.  

    If you haven't made time to get away recently, don't forget to build in some R&R into your life. There's nothing more rejuvenating than getting away from life's stresses, even if just for a few days, to set things right with the world again. If that's not possible, remember to enjoy the simple things like a beautiful sunrise, or if you're not a morning person, the sunset's nice too! YOLO, so fill the time you've got with good food, good friends, and fabulous fashion!
XOXO,
Brittani
