I interrupt this regularly-scheduled summer vacation themed blog series with one piece of advice:
Wear Sunscreen.
Lots of sunscreen.
This past weekend I forgot the most important rule of wearing sunscreen: reapply. Reapply often. Especially when your natural skin tone is pasty white (like mine) and you are in, on, or around a body of water (like we were).
Another word: blisters.
One more: ouch!
{no, I did not take photos of the blisters. But I did take photos of the event, which will come in due time. }
