Vacation’s All I Ever Wanted

This week we leave for the beach – finally.  It is the two weeks that I have been looking forward to since last summer, when we had our two weeks at the beach .  Our family loves the beach, anytime of the year, but especially during the summer.  There is just no place like it, in my opinion.

Last summer was the first year that we did two weeks in a row, and easily decided that we would never do anything but, from then on out.  It takes a day to get there, a day to get home, and usually about two days to really begin to unwind and enjoy relaxing.  If you’re only there a week, that leaves just 3 days of “real” vacation!  

So we’re off on Tuesday night, as soon as our oldest son is off of work.  That way, we wake up Wednesday morning where we want to be, instead of looking toward the drive.  That way we sleep late, and hit the beach early.  That way, the vacation is one day longer!

So, if you need me during the next two weeks, look for me at Pine Knoll Shores, on the sand, in the surf, reading that book I’ve been wanting to read all year, or taking a nap.  I’ll be the one with the red nose and the big smile:)
