A Guessing Game and Give Away . . .

My blog has been sadly neglected for about two weeks now, but it was all for a very good reason. Memorial Day Weekend and the week following found my husband and I vacationing with six of our children and their families. We had a fabulous time. We vacationed in a spot we had never before visited.

We played for hours at the most "kid friendly" beach ever, which was a block away from where we stayed.






We swam for hours in the backyard pool of the home we rented.


We stayed at this fabulous home that easily accommodated our big family.


We took a tour along the beach in these open-air trucks...


... and saw wild horses whose ancestors were transported to this area by the Spaniards more than 400 years ago.


We climbed to the top of this beautiful lighthouse,


and we toured this museum.


The question is...
WHERE WERE WE?

If you would like a chance to win this cosmetic bag from my Etsy to use on your next vacation, all you have to do is guess where we vacationed last week! Only the state or area needs to be named, but for extra credit you can name the town! Obviously, more than one person can choose the same place. The names of those who guess correctly will be eligible to win this cute cosmetic bag from my Etsy...


No anonymous comments, please. I need an email address or accessibility to a public blog.This contest will run through midnight on Wednesday, June 8th, (only 2 days!) which should give me just the right amount of time for me to wade through the mountains of laundry I have awaiting me! On Thursday morning, June 9th, the winner will be announced.

Next week I'll begin to show you the changes we made when we refinished one of our guest bathrooms. The work is completed, and I'm anxious to share with you some of the things we learned while reconstructing a bathroom!
