Heading home
Me: I need to get a frozen pina colada while we’re here.
Her: Why?
Me: It’s something I always did with Alison and I want to do it here again.
Her: OK.
We went to Horseshoe Bay right before we were going to leave.
It was fun being back – especially with my cousin, her guy, and the Gymgirl – but I did think about the other times I was there.
Everything is bittersweet.
The rest of the trip was more my speed.
We pretty much just ate…
…and watched shows…
…and ate…
…and played board games like Codenames, Settlers of Catan, and Good Cop, Bad Cop:
Cousin: Bang, @#$@#!
Gymgirl: I’m on your side!
Cousin: Oh. Sorry.
The best thing about this type of cruising is that there’s no jet lag.
Which is not to say that we didn’t have sleeping problems once we were home.
Her: (in the dark) I miss the rocking of the boat.
Me: It’s a ship, not a boat. (reaching over to the nightstand) And do you want a melatonin?
Her: Sure. (pause) You’re putting it up my nose.
Some crazy stuff happened once we got back, but that’s a story for another time.
Location: still at home
Mood: thoughtful
Music: Come home. ‘Cause I’ve been waiting for you for so long
