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.
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!
Well…I’ll be selfish and say I’m glad you’re back!
Glad you had a nice escape, though…I need one.
awww. sounds like such a wonderful trip. If we didn’t ever come home, how would we appreciate being away????
Take care, suz
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 🙂
I need this 5 day vacation. Whatever happened to the Lazy days of Summer??? Glad you had fun!
Ow sounds fabulous! Think I need a getaway too…. ooh do you think I could abandon the kids too? Nah probably not eh?
Amen sista!! Any time we can mix it up and take a break from the everyday craziness is a good time.
*Sigh* Can’t wait for ours… next week!!! 🙂
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.
I’d give anything to be rich and on a permanent beach vacation! lol
Sounds perfect. We never want it to end but it does feel good to get into your own bed again!
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!!
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 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 🙂
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!
