five on Friday: vacation

Because I’ve missed blogging and I haven’t had much time to update this week, I’m linking up again with a five on Friday post.

1. We’re at the end of our vacation. Sadly I’ve been checking work email every single day. (I’ve deleted over 1000 emails this week. Sad, right?) I actually did a few hours of work on Monday. I need another vacation.

2.We visited a zoo this morning. We hit up all of the must-see animals like the giraffes, monkeys and finally the elephants. Safe to say, this guy really enjoyed it.
 

3. Because of that above photo, the kiddo is FIGHTING naptime now. With a vengeance. I need him to sleep at least an hour so we can have a decent time at the beach later this afternoon. I can’t stress need any more.

4. We have one more 7-hour drive ahead of us. This trip, I brought along the iPad and downloaded a few episodes of Sesame Street. They have helped us tremendously. Really. They’ve saved us from several meltdowns.

5. I didn’t get to run my 5k yesterday. We were on our way and the van (my parents’ vehicle) had problems. We turned around, and were just outside the neighborhood when it died. I ran a half mile to get my car (so I could get the toddler boy back home) but the house was 40 minutes from the race start and it was almost 30 minutes before the race was actually starting. So. No 5k for me. But at least we were safe and the van is now fixed.

How was your week?
