A Vacation Scene

My response to a prompt about vacation with a checklist of words to use from Seven Days Seven Answers:

"After a turbulent flight, temporarily lost luggage, and a restless night's sleep with a noisy air conditioner, I was finally on the beach. It was warm, humid bliss. I settled on a chaise with my most recently acquired book by David Sedaris. With a huge, warm sigh that flowed through every relaxing muscle and resting bone in my body, I sipped Sangria and thought about my husband back at home dealing with Monkey-boy, the Drama Princess, and, our oldest, Mr. Loud Sound Effects!"


I actually have little idea what Sangria is and if it is appropriate to sip on the beach.  Since it was in the list of words, I'm guessing you would drink it on vacation at least.  I just don't drink - other than soft drinks,  or virgin pina coladas.

Great piece, China. Loved the name for the youngest: "Mr. Loud Sound Effects". Brilliant!
