We all thought that the entire summer would pass and we wouldn't have taken a single family vacation. We did manage to squeeze one in, a tiny one but packed with fun. The children and I left Sunday around 4:30 pm and stopped only once. We arrived to vacation with my "Favorite Aunt" Lynda around 8:30 pm. (She had rented a house for 8 days and was gracious enough to invite us to stay with her for a bit. We of course were honored and said YES!!!!) We went to be to wake up early for all the excitement. We were at the beach all day building sandcastles and boogie boarding (Julia was the super best of us all, she did it so much she had board burn on her belly. Afterward we got ready to go out for dinner. We only drove 10 minutes and Liam and Aynsley were both dead asleep. We decided it would be best to turn around and eat some food at home. Ross arrived around nine that evening and we (the adults) sat up chatting for a bit then off to bed. Another day filled with fun at the beach but for the night Lynda had plans of her own....She wanted Ross and I to have a date and she wanted to have a date with the children. We all had fun, it was fantastic to be with Ross where we were. Sadly he had to leave around 4am the next morning so it wasn't a late evening. I left later that day and we were all together at home that night. Nice ending to our summer, and we returned just in time for school for Liam and Julia on Friday. We had a blast!
