Man Proves How Awful Vacation Without Wife Was

by Lara Rutherford-Morrison

Kevin Blandford was lucky enough to win a trip to Puerto Rico. The only catch? His wife had to stay home with their 6-month-old baby. So to assure her that she wasn’t missing out on anything great, Blandford posed for a hilarious series of photos showing him having the worst vacation ever. Just him, doing all the vacation stuff, but looking completely miserable about it. The saga begins with a picture of Blandford sitting forlornly on the plane to the Caribbean and follows with image after image of him looking dejected at the pool, snorkeling, gambling, sleeping, drinking sangria. “Hold on here!” you might understandably cry, “How can anyone be unhappy while drinking sangria?!” He was just that lonely, my friends. He just loves his darling wife THAT MUCH.

Blandford, who lives in Louisville, Kentucky, admits to the Daily Mail that the trip wasn’t as bad as it looks in the photos, saying, “It was a fun trip. It was a work trip, though, so there were a lot of presentations and meetings.” He and a friend came up with the idea of sending the sad vacation photos to his wife, and when he returned home, he posted the images to reddit, where he goes by the moniker “widgetdude.” He was surprised to find that the images went viral, garnering over two million views on Imgur. When asked by fellow redditors who was behind the camera, Blandford has simply replied “a dedicated friend.” Scroll on to see Blandford painfully enduring his horrible trip to the beach.

For the curious, here’s a picture of the little one that kept Kevin’s wife from joining him. Look at that happy face! It (almost) makes up for missing out on a free vacation.
