Chill Out Sometimes

 

As my teenage daughter would say “We should just chill”. Which is what we did this last weekend. By we I mean myself, my 19-year old daughter, and her boyfriend of two years. We took a little road trip over to the beach for a few days and “just chilled”. We stayed at a beautiful brand new hotel that was just across the street from the beach. So the first day we decided to get in touch with our inner children and we went to – can you guess? – DISNEYLAND! I can’t say I was looking forward to the lines but it actually turned out to be a great day (even with the two rides that did have us waiting for an hour) we went on all the rides that we wanted and got some cotton candy while we were at it The next couple days were all about the beach and the sun. I already miss it. It was fantastic to just relax for a few days. Sleep in a little, then basically go back to sleep on the beach to the sound of the ocean. It definitely reminded me that every now and then (more often than not if you can manage it!) we all need to just chill, and take time to let go.
