Five days in Sri Lanka was my birthday gift and the reason for my absence.
Whenever I travel, I completely unplug from technology.
Our time was spent walking, relaxing,
hiking, eating,
enjoying the great outdoors and the company of friends.
Two of the days were spent at a bungalow with our "adopted" family.
After we had said our goodbyes on Monday, we were called back under the pretext that we had forgotten some of our belongings.
Instead, I was treated to a surprise rendition of happy birthday, cake and a group photo opportunity.
It's always so lovely to get away.
But yesterday and today it was back to school and back to reality.
Lots of catching up to do.
Hope all is well with you.

Happy Birthday, Tammy.
That looks like so much fun. You are so lucky that you can travel with your husband to such 'exotic' places. Whenever my husband has travelled out of the country, I've had commitments that have prevented me from tagging along. I hope that changes not that I'm retired.

Dearest Tammy,
Welcome back to the real world. It always feels like a punishment for having to catch up on so many things. BUT the happy memories sure win over all the negative.
Hugs to you,

Lovely photos of your Birthday Travels. It looks like a very tropical paradise with unique and special wildlife. I see you even did a bit of crocheting. Happy Birthday. Hugs Judy
Hi Tammy,
I'm so glad you had the chance to get away on a lovely vacation and to enjoy your Birthday, apart from technology. :) You know my thoughts on that. Since I've entirely stopped technology, except for reading your blog of course, I feel so much more refreshed and guess what - I'm re-learning crochet! We'll see if that leads anywhere, right now it's just a novelty for me.
Anyway, I'm glad you returned home safely and I enjoyed seeing your wonderful photos of the time away.
Blessings always,
Linda
I love the fact that although the scenery, wildlife, people and weather may look different - the crochet looks the same wherever you are in the world! What a lovely birthday surprise x Jane

I´m sure you enjoyed your trip and very smart of you to unplug from technology to feel completely relaxed.
Have a nice weekend!
And what did I focus on in these pictures? The beer!
Call me crazy!
Happy Birthday, my friend. Looks like a wonderful way to spend with family and friends!
