Weekend Getaway

Well, It's back to reality now. The weekend is over. Me and Nick took a nice little weekend getaway. As usual, we took off to the beach. This is our home away from home.

We were not going to go until Thursday last week but Nick called the reservation office to see if we could come down on Wednesday instead. "No problem" they said. So I skipped out of work early on Wednesday and we headed out for the anxious 4 hour drive. 

The first day it was rather chilly and cloudy with the temperatures dipping down into the 50s. We put on our jackets and went for a walk. It was nice. 

Every morning I would open the camper door to these two guys looking up at me waiting on a snack. 

 

Not sure why they chose my camper out of the hundreds there but I enjoyed the company as I sat outside enjoying my morning coffee. They like potato chips. 

With no rain in the weekend forecast,  Nick contacted our camper washer crew to come give her a good wash and wax on the cloudy day.
The rest of the weekend was beautiful, sunny and warm. The temperatures reach the high 80's and I got a little sun crispy. Not burnt. Just crisp. Haha.

Saturday night we didn't go out to eat dinner, instead we had a pizza delivered, then ran out to the ocean to see the large red full moon glistening off the water. 

 

Our cameras would not capture such the site that we saw, but you may get the idea. 

Crochet Sunglass Case

Im writing this post from my happy place. The beach. Whoo ! Finally! I know its only been three weeks since my last visit here but as soon as I get home, get unpacked, and get everything washed, I get anxious for the next trip and it can never come soon enough. This will be our last visit here until the big week vacation in August.

I like having sunglasses to wear when Im at the beach and sometimes while driving. 
Im bad about just throwing my sunglass into my purse, consol or beach bag. The result usually ends up with them being scratched, mashed or twisted.

The other day I was trying to decide what to make with my stash of scrap yarn. Thats when this idea hit me. "Why not make a little bag or case for my shades?" So, I did.

 

The yarn will also keep them clean as they rest in this little draw string bag until I need them.

So here I am, on the sand and my little mirrorred glasses have been kept safe and ready to wear.
We had a cool misty day here on Thursday but its full on sunshine today. Im getting a tan on (maybe too much). Along with many others!

 

Now excuse me while I sit back in my chair with my shades on and watch people. Haha. 

If you crochet and want to make your own glasses case, you can find the pattern at "Goddesscrochet".
It's a free pattern and super dooper easy.
