This is one of those outfits I hope looks better in action than it does in photos. But even if it doesn’t look that great…what do I care? It’s a beach outfit. At the beach, my standards are decidedly relaxed. A fancier blogger would make more of an effort, but this is pretty much the most effort I make at the beach. I mean, I’m wearing a dress, shoes, and lipstick. What more do you want from me? I left my tiara at home.
You might have noticed by my bright red ankles, but I got a wee bit of a sunburn on Thursday. I’m like microwave popcorn…you might think you have everything under control, but leave me in the heat for 2 seconds too long and I’m burnt to a crisp and stinking up the whole house. That metaphor got a little out of control, but you get the point. So when the rest of my family was up for going to the aquarium on Friday, I was 100% on board. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid, so it was basically brand new to me. To distract you from my mediocre outfit, here are some photos of the animals I saw:
There were, of course, lots of fish, but it’s hard to get good photos of them in an aquarium. So instead, here’s a photo of the cool fish sculpture outside:
Sadly, vacation comes to an end today, and it’s back to the real world. But on the bright side, I’m going home to cooler temperatures that will be perfect for hiding my burnt popcorn thighs.
See more details of my vacation on Instagram (or just wait for the inevitable Insta-roundup).
