Interruption


So sorry that I've been ignoring this space lately. I've got a very good excuse, I promise. We've been on vacation! It didn't seem wise to inform the world that our house would be empty for a week, so I opted to post about the trip once we returned home. Let me tell you, leaving on vacation the day after school got out made those last two weeks in May a little crazy, but it was so worth it.

Can you guess where we went? Perhaps a few clues will help...


Of course, from that first photo you know we flew. Actually we rode our bikes, took a ferry, drove five hours to Detroit Metro Airport and then got on the plane.

We went some place warm; considerably warmer than the 65 degrees (about 18 C) we left behind on Mackinac.


Our destination had amazing ambiance. And great light fixtures. Through my travels I've noticed that I seem to have a thing for lights. On this trip alone I probably ended up with pictures of ten different lights. Anyone out there recognize these little beauties?


Your final clue is our condo. I suppose it isn't really ours, but it was our home for the week. It was huge; two bedrooms, two full baths (one with a whirlpool tub), a kitchen, a living room, and a lovely little porch that overlooked a pond. It was bigger than pretty much every apartment I've ever lived in. We owe our friends Mark and Karen a HUGE thank you for helping us with that condo. We never could have done it without them.

I know it's not much to go on, but give it a shot. Where do you think we went? Awww c'mon, take a guess!

My apologies to my Facebook friends. Since I already posted a few photos there, you guys already know...

Hmmm.... the palm trees, definitely somewhere tropical... I'm guessing Florida by the looks of the pink on the condos?

South Carolina? We visit a condo on Kiawah Island every few years, and while I don't remember those lights, the condo style and palm trees are spot on...

Welcome back!! Those lights are really lovely, from one lighting lover to another ;)

I'm going to go with coastal South (how's that for exact? ha). Florida does come to mind, St. Augustine maybe, or elsewhere like Savannah or Charleston.

I'm thinking South Carolina?
Where ever you went I hope you had a wonderful vacation time with your family!!
