And It Rained

We made good time to the beach on Saturday, got the parrot dropped off just in time before the vet closed, and All Was Well. Dinner out, early to bed, and off to see the ocean on a gray and cloudy Sunday morning. It got windy and cold, which didn't much bother anyone. And then it started to rain.

It rained Monday.

It rained Tuesday.

It rained Wednesday.

We had to go home Wednesday night.

We managed to spend a grand total of maybe 3 hours at the ocean the entire trip.

I got a lot of sleep, but on a crummy matress, which is a double-edged sword. My back is exceedingly tweeked out.

Thank god for my aunt Diane, who lent us the entire Harry Potter ouevre on video and DVD. The kids got caught up with movies 3 & 4 at the rental house, and Michael took them to Atlantic City on Tuesday to see the current flick on the Imax screen there. My parents joined us on Wednesday, and the fellows braved the Boardwalk in the cold drizzle for a little miniature golf, while Mom and I enjoyed an uninterrupted gab over hot steamy mugs. We had an easy drive home Wednesday evening, and I was back to work Thursday morning and thinking about what to bake for Week Eight.....

Theo likes going on vacation.

Sometimes vacations are mixed blessings and yours surely was. You did well under the rainy circumstances,along with two young boys. And the bed. LOL

Are you sure the dog is enjoying himself. It looks as if he's having CPR administered...
