Good Tunes And Some Sun-- My Perfect Remedy For The Winter Blues

I'm confident that you'll agree with me when I say that this winter has been an absolute drag! Snowstorm after snowstorm, hotel stays, and just plain old cold weather --- It's just not good for the soul!!


 


I did my very best to fight off the 'Winter Blues' this year by taking a much needed vacation to the Caribbean with Hubby and last weekend we had a great time at the Paul Simmon concert! I promised I would share some pictures from the concert, so I figured I would throw in some other memories from our vaca as well! 


  


We finally made it to our destination after spending a full day in the airport. I planted myself on the beach as soon as reached the resort! 




We wined and dined ourselves because after all it was vacation! We even splurged on dessert a couple of nights, but do you blame us? Everything on the menu sounded delicious! 



I loved starting off my day with some yoga on the beach. Seriously, does it get more relaxing? 



We spent one full day sight seeing around the island. So beautiful! 



I miss taking long walks on the beach!! One morning I completed 18,737 steps in one walk!! That has to be a record, right??


 


Of course I had hubby document my evening of karaoke! You know I could never turn down the opportunity to sing in front of an audience!! 


 


We came home from the Carribean to some more snow, but I was determined to stay positive! Two weeks after our trip, hubby and I went to the Paul Simon/Sting concert! It was amazing! Instead of having an opening act, they combined both of the original bands for a huge live music festival. 


Sting was phenomenal-- a bit skinny for my taste-- but buff and bald all the same! As for Paul Simon, when the washboard and zydeco came out, so did my South Louisiana roots. LOVE! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}



And OMGoodness... Sting and Paul sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as a duet and it was fabulous!! After the duet Sting went straight into "Every Breath You Take." 




The concert was so great and I even ran into a fellow QVC Queen! 



All in all it's been a tough winter, but as you can see I've kept myself pretty occupied with some fun!! With some tunes and some sun, I think I found my perfect remedy for the Winter Blues!
