What a relaxing vacation this is! I am a chillin', laid back, relaxin' woman today. I'm telling you, this is no place for the person who is running from one activity to the other to try and fit everything in before it's time to go home again. This is the place for a prop your feet up, watching the ocean, sippin' ice tea kind of vacation.
We started the day with a trip to the local Baptist church. The people were so sweet and friendly and the service was so worshipful.. We sang songs of praise and saw lifted hands all over the church. The message was one of hope, of peace, of anticipation.
Afterwards, we walked through the little town in search of the perfect place to have lunch. The thing about quaint, quirky little towns is that they have their share of odd little restaurants. We decided on a small cafe, was shown to our seats, and given the menus. It didn't take us but a glance down the menu to know we're in the wrong place. A sliver of this, a taste of that and not enough food to fill a saucer, not to mention, things we'd never heard of, so we decided to sneak out. We waited until the coast was clear, quietly tiptoed away from our seats, and hurriedly scampered down the street, holding in our giggles. We felt like we had been bad little children, but were glad we got away with it.
We found a nice restaurant, got our tummies full and spent the rest of the day just drifting in and out of cute little stores.
We visited the antique store, which is one of my most favorite things to do. It's like treasure hunting. You're not sure what you're looking for, but when you find it, you're ecstatic! You know it's an antique when you have to read the little tag on it to see what it is. The sad thing is, is that I'm seeing things in antique stores that I had when I was younger, so what does that make me? Well, let's not go there.
Grab some groceries, back to the condo, out on the balcony, feet propped up, watching the ocean again....yep, this is my kind of vacation.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden; and I will give you rest.
