Where is my Menu Plan Monday?

We are on vacation. we aren't really planning what we are eating. I am fresh off of my mini vacation-within-a-vacation to the beach with my girlfriends. So, in lieu of Menu Plan Monday, I am listing out my favorites and not-so-favorites of beach weekend.

Favorites
"Early" morning solitude and being able to read and relax
Slightly salty tinge to the air and the cooling breezes in the shade
Being with friends and enjoying food, drinks, & laughter with them
The cocoabutter scent of sunblock
Strangers willing to help out & friendly animals
Walking along the beach, wading in the water, and collecting shells, beach glass, and sand
Stars, clouds, sea birds, dolphins, & small sea cretures

Not quite as awesome
Mosquito bites
Sore feet
Hot & sticky sand
Pink skin and sunblock that doesnt seem to work when and where it should
Bathing suits that no longer fit

Pinterest recipes: Beach Cupcakes, Fishbowl drink; Pinnacle root beer "slush ice"; Austin street-style breakfast tacos. Look for links and recipes soon!

I finished my book yesterday morning and the last line resonated with me. "[...] I would always feel at home when I touched sand."  The Moon and More, by S. Dessen. Look for a book review soon!
