After breakfast I slathered on the sunscreen and headed down to the beach for a few last rays of sunshine.
We are staying at Eagle’s Nest, a big condo building right on the beach. It’s a great location, but this is “off season” so it’s not too crowded. 
I think I’ve already gotten my money’s worth from my $7.00 dress.
Owen (Ben’s nephew), Ben’s dad, and us 
The sun is so bright and the sand is so white, it’s blinding when you first go outside.
I packed up my stuff (which is not easy to do when it’s all strewn about the condo and balcony) to head home. Then, I packed up my belly with food.
Bed of lettuce topped with rice, veggie burger and layer salad. Just like when I get fro-yo…it’s all about the toppings to me!
Eaten on the balcony for maximum sweating eating pleasure.
In addition to Running on the Equator and Swimming, we did something else fun during this vacation… took a test to see if I’m everyone else is crazy! We found this Hare Psychopathy Checklist to find out if a few of us were crazy or not. 
No comments on the results 
But, if Ben “sends me away” someday you’ll know why.
And the reason for the title – I’m currently blogging from the backseat of Jon’s Pruis 
You guys know I LOVE California. But, I am always sad to leave Florida. It’s nice and hot and full of family too 
I reeeeeally need to catch up on email and work stuff on the plane. So, I’ll probably catch you guys after my morning shift tomorrow
Thank you all so much for your comments and thoughts on my last post about “daily eats blogging” and stuff. I’m mulling a lot over in my head movies and appreciate it!
That beach looks amazing! San Diego has been stuck in June Gloom lately and it sucks! Everywhere else in the country it hot and sunny!

Im going to the beach for a week in a MONTH! I Cant wait for the white blinding sun and sand!
Cute 7$ dress!!
That $7 dress is fab! Love it.
oooh the beach in FL looks so amazing!!
Took the psychopathy test…I scored pretty low but then I did it as if I were my husband and…lolz yeah I might hafta ship him out! haha 🙂
I cannot stand running in humidity, so I totally feel you on that one!!
Florida is awesome. It looks like you had a fun trip, too. I’m about to head down there for a week and I.Can’t.Wait.
cute dress!
Holy hell, Ben and his dad look SO much alike!
I feel the same way everytime we leave FL to visit my in-laws too “nice, hot and full of family”. Always wish the trip were longer!
Sounds like a great time. The beach is beautiful. Kev and I usually go to Jamaica every Dec. but this will be the 1st time in 5 years we are not. We are pretty sad BUT we’ll really appreciate when we go back in 2012 so I have to just suck it up.
Looking at possibly going to a beach state side this summer, we’ll see if that happens.
Oh and love that dress!
i love the pictures & your sun dress! $7 is a wicked good deal !
SO many bloggers are at the beach right now.. I’m jealous!
Blogging in the car like a pro 😉 haha!
I agree. Toppings are key, always! I love mixing tastes and textures!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who puts ketchup on salads :o)
Vacations are always so fun…. until you have to go home and unpack everything… Oh god then the laundry. Don’t forget about the laundry… at least you’ll have a sweet tan 😉
Hey Monica,
As a California native and someone who has never been to Florida I was wondering how different the two states are? Anything major that stands out to you? I’m just curious… Thanks!
I think the weather and plants are the most obvious thing. In CA we don’t get humidity at all. I think it’s 100% easier to run in CA heat than FL heat (even if the temps are the exact same). The humidity keeps the heat in too, so it’s not as cool to run in the morning or at night, whereas in CA you can “beat the heat” by running early.
And Ben says, “there are no bugs in California”. Because the Florida bugs are so big in comparison he thinks they barely count 🙂
On this very grey day here, I’m loving how bright the sun is in your pictures!
Safe travels!
Safe travels! Now get back to California where you belong! (Maybe I’m just biased…but I love this state!) 🙂
