Yes, molting. From the tops of our heads down to our shoulders Isaac and I are shedding more skin than snakes. It is, to put it mildly, disgusting.
Obviously, we are suffering the after effects of rather severe and unpleasant sunburns. And, because you, dear reader, are likely gifted with the ability to make logical deductions, you are probably assuming that, once again, Arizona has tried to kill us. In this case, you would be wrong.
Yes, we are suffering the after effects of sunburn, but it is not Arizona that is to blame, it is...California!
Last weekend we snuck out of blazing hot AZ and spent a couple days in San Diego for our anniversary and it was fantastic. Except for the whole sunburn situation.
Now, you (again with those powers of deduction!) might assume that we are sunburned because we neglected to make use of sun-protection technology. Again, you would be wrong. This, friends, is a case of an epic failure of the sunscreen. Turns out, if you are outside in the sun all day,(let's say you decided to go sailing off the coast of San Diego on a replica 19th century schooner. If that sounds delightful, it's because it is!)SPF 70 (yes, SEVENTY) just isn't going to cut it. I suggest SPF 700, a hat, long sleeves and an umbrella. That should just about do the trick. Take my word for it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go exfoliate. Again.

Erin, you're supposed to re-apply sunscreen! ;)
Woo hoo for trips to San Diego! And happy anniversary!
I'm with Kara: the sunscreen needs to be slathered on regularly. I'm sorry you are molting.
We're glad your anniversary was wonderful. Ours just slipped by because it was my first day of school (only the first day of school? Crap!) and I was tired before it started.
Next time you slip away, slip up here!
Love ya,
MA
I am sorry you are so burned. Put aquapher on as you peel it helps keep your skin moist and loose rather than getting dry and tight so it hurts to move. Im glad you had a good anniversary!
