The Vacation

The Good:

  • Only got a slight-- very slight-- sun burn. This is a nice change from the usual blistering and sun poisoning.
  • Lots of beautiful weather. It only got a bit drizzly one day there. The rest were warm, wonderful, sunny.
  • The kids were generally well behaved. Sorta. For them, anyway.
  • I actually-- shockingly-- got a little-- very little-- color.

The Bad:

  • Everything is so friggin' expensive down at the shore.
  • I didn't actually get any time to sit and read even though I brought along four books.
  • The beds. Dear god, those beds were awful. I actually have bruises. From sleeping!
  • Mom injured herself-- knocked off a toenail-- just before the trip. Luckily, the salt water healed it up quite a bit and she's walking much better now.

The Ridiculously Scary:

  • The Boy and The Girl joined up in some bizarre suicide pact with the hotel pool and its slide. Luckily, this plan was foiled. This is why they make leashes for kids, people. I said "Wait for me by the pool." and they heard "Slide down the pool's slide into the deepest part where you'll hopefully panic and nearly drown." Thank you cell phone guy and bikini girl for quickly saving The Girl from herself.

Sounds like a fun time was had by all! So, the most important question, did you come back relaxed,stress free and rested?

Michelle- I came back exhausted and wanting a nap. Does that count? I cried all of the way back to work.
