I've decided.
Five nights away from the daily grind is good for the soul.
It probably doesn't matter where you go, it's the getting that is important.
Days spent torn between the sun on the front deck or the breeze on the white beach.
Deciding between walks in the woods or quiet snuggles on the couch.
Knee deep in sandcastles and sunscreen.
Ice cold Corona with good friends.
BBQ's and Take Out.
Ice Cream dripping from delighted chins.
Rip roaring giggles of care free kids crashing in the waves.
Beach Chairs and Sunsets.
Exhausted children carried off to bed.
Time alone to re-charge and re-connect.
Time to smile, relax and remind ourselves how truly lucky we are.
The only problem...
I really wasn't ready to come home.

Oh if only we were all independently wealthy...we could do that everyday.
Sounds heavenly! I so need one of those FIVE DAYS...gosh...even a SINGLE day would be heaven!
Glad you had fun, glad to see you are back my friend!

I agree ... I don't have kids, but I can't wait to get away!
I leave for Hawai'i (#1 vaca in over, well, 25 years!) on August 5. Come back the 12th. Then it's off to a business trip on Aug 17th in New Mexico until the 30th ...
It's only a matter of time :)
I think I just went on a mini vaca from that post. It sounds heavenly right now~ and maybe when I came back? The house would be done?
I agree I wouldn't want to come home either! I'm looking forward to my vacation..Hopefully soon.
We had to cancel our last one due to my job =(
*note
Job stands for JUST OVER BROKE. ha!
All paid for. Just couldnt take the time off after losing our contract =/
NEXT TIME LOL!
I'll live in YOURS heh heh.
Glad your back!!
Sounds perfect. We never want it to end but it does feel good to get into your own bed again!
I'd give anything to be rich and on a permanent beach vacation! lol
Sounds absolutely delightful. I am so looking forward to my 2 night/3 day getaway with dh at the end of the month - we so need the re-charge and re-connect part. First real vacation without kids in 8 year.
*Sigh* Can't wait for ours... next week!!! :)
Amen sista!! Any time we can mix it up and take a break from the everyday craziness is a good time.
Ow sounds fabulous! Think I need a getaway too.... ooh do you think I could abandon the kids too? Nah probably not eh?
I need this 5 day vacation. Whatever happened to the Lazy days of Summer??? Glad you had fun!
I leave for vacation a week from today!!!! Except I live at the beach, so an escape for me is the quiet mountains, and I can hardly wait!! And I'm still wanting to know if you got that kitten :)
awww. sounds like such a wonderful trip. If we didn't ever come home, how would we appreciate being away????
Take care, suz
Well...I'll be selfish and say I'm glad you're back!
Glad you had a nice escape, though...I need one.
Sigh... how perfect does that all sound? Vacations with the children are so awesome, aren't they? And why do they end so quickly? That's the worst part... coming home! Sounds like it is time for you to start planning your next getaway!
aaaah... from the sounds of it, i wouldnt have been ready for home either.
Welcome Home!! (I mean even if you weren't ready.) Sounds like a great time.
Sounds fantastic! It makes me want to begin planning my own getaway. That's what is so great when you do leave home...you get to look forward to the next trip.
Sounds like a wonderful time was had. I am always amazed at what some good down-time can do for a person's outlook! Glad you could get yourself some.......
Happy to see you back!
Sigh. I'm so jealous. I haven't been to the beach in a couple of years, and Mama needs it bad.
I'm glad you had a good time chicken xx
Ugh. So jealous I just turned green.
The time always goes so fast doesn't it? Summer will be over before you know it and it will be back to the daily grind. I hope it slows down a little so I can enjoy it before its gone.
I think coming back to reality...makes us want to go back on vacation immediately!
Sounds fabulous!
That was a mini-vaca just reading it.
Think I'll grab a tea and sit out back and pretend it's a Corona and I'm at the beach. :)
Sounds like heaven. All of it!
