Footprints in the Sand


























The Coaches of Team Utzig had a chance to get away. Since the kids didn't have school for a couple days, we thought we'd send them to get their Farm Fix with Grandpa & Grandma B. while we headed for sun & fun in Tampa, FL. We slept in, spent our days at Clearwater Beach being bums, ate our meals outside on the patio of one of the boardwalk restaurants, and in the evening watched the sights from our hotel balcony. Relaxation was the theme. Mark spent most of his time napping in the sun while I devoured 3 Karen Kingsbury books.

Mark and I missed the kids, yet really enjoyed "escaping" for a while. Once we landed and got the whole team back together again, it was definitely "back to reality." Bare cupboards, a mountain of laundry, bags everywhere, 100 + work emails for Mark, and an Acute Care visit for 2 kids for 2 sinus infections.

As I now sit at the computer with the cupboards not bare anymore, the laundry now a mound instead of a mountain, one child at school the other home getting rest, and Coach Mark leaving town for most of the week; I am thankful for the "re-charging" of our batteries and the time alone with my handsome hubby. Whatever the next days, months, years throw at us FL is only one pleasant memory away. I hope you like the shots we shared. Now, go make some memories too - preferably in some 85 degree sunshine!
