Our weekend in Hoi An was pretty great. We spent three days relaxing on the beach, walking around the small city, and spending entirely too much money on clothes and presents for family.
I loathe shopping. Something about my being 6 feet tall and having long legs just makes it an entirely unpleasant experience. However, when people will measure me, help me pick fabrics, and custom make my clothes, I am in!
The one down side about the weekend: it was hot! Like, sweating-through-my-entire-shirt-my-brain-is-melting kind of hot. Rob and I were not as good with the sunblock as we should have been and ended up very sunburned.
The kind of hat I could have used to protect against the sun.
Good learning experience before we jet off to Thailand for ten days, right?

Now it’s back to the grind for a 6-day work week and an insane amount of things to take care of as we approach our return-to-US date very quickly. I’ll be eating at Chili’s again before I know it!

I’m glad you had a fun weekend getaway! I love your Chili’s comment! Is that one of your favorites?
I don’t know why, but it is. I love the monterrey chicken and the big mouth burgers. Plus the lava cake…so delicious!
Sorry you guys got sunburned but i would take that over the 6 inches of snow we got again last night. I love reading about your sun, sand and ocean swims!
I can’t believe it snowed!
What a fun weekend!
I wish the weather was beach-weather here! It was nice this weekend but still had a chill in the air!
Hopefully the air warms up for you soon. I heard there was new snowfall in Minnesota the other day. Crazy that it’s almost May.
It sounds like you had a nice getaway!
I agree that being 6′ tall puts a bit of a damper on shopping… I hear ya!
It makes shopping so disheartening. I know you feel my pain.
