    Nothing Beats a Holiday Vacation

    Happy New Year!  I apologize for my absence over the holidays, I was busy.  Perhaps not in the ways you might imagine, but with this.

    That is the sun coming up over the Atlantic.  (No, the earth hasn’t shifted and the sun now rises in the north.  We were in Atlantic Beach, NC which faces south.) 

    Hubby and I don’t have a whole lot of requirements for our Christmas vacation, except that we have to stay in a hotel that overlooks the ocean.  This was the second half of our vacation, in Virginia Beach.

    I mean really, is there anything better than the ocean? 

    We also crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which was awesome.  When we stopped at the little gift shop on the bridge, they had one of those signs you’re supposed to have your kids put their faces through for pictures.  I thought it was so ridiculous to be putting a face in the middle of a crab, so of course, I couldn’t resist humiliating Otto just a bit. 

    He didn’t seem too upset, though.  In fact, when we stopped at Fort Monroe on our way home, he even volunteered to participate in an internet meme

    Soon.

    I’ll be back in a few days with a proper post for the new year, but before I go, I must mention this seriously fabulous dessert I had in Virginia Beach.  Eggnog Crème Brûlée.  I will definitely be adding this to my list of eggnog deliciousness to make in the future. 

    How did you spend the holidays?
