Where the hell did the week go? What the hell did I even do? We didn't even go out for supper and only had lunch out once. We obviously brought way too much food!
We are all showered, snacks are packed, games/toys put away in boxes to stuff in the truck and alcohol has been consumed! I will miss the beach and the laziness of this entire atmosphere. We have been pooped from all the sun and the salt water.
Today we rented a pontoon boat and headed out on the Charlestown Pond that opens up to the ocean. We had the boat from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and we used it almost to the exact minute. The pond was very shallow so the idea of jumping off the boat and swimming didn't really happen until we found a 10 foot spot towards the end of our day. We drove around the pond and looked at what it had to offer, anchored at a sand bar to explore and look for crabs, drove around some more and found another location to walk around the water. Hung out on the boat and listened to music (thank goodness for the radio on the boat). Played Catch Phrase, talked, drove around some more, ate, ate, ate and ate some more. Finally by 11:30 a.m. I needed to feed the crew lunch before they were going to rip our heads off. Everybody was hungry all day long!
After a nice packed lunch we drove around some more and anchored yet again. We found a path that lead us to the actual beach on the other side. It was gorgeous and completely empty. The kids swam a bit but the wind picked up and it started to get cold. Back to the boat and off again to do some more exploring. Anchored again so we could just chill on the boat. Clouds came in and the wind picked up some more.....oh boy! Now it was really cold. At 2 p.m. we decided to pack it in and head back to the marina. Everybody had their sweatshirts on and we were still cold. By this point Roxy has fallen asleep amongst an enormous pile of beach towels all snuggled up. I didn't want to wake her so Todd drove around some more and a few minutes later Lincoln had fallen asleep. Okay, now what? We headed back to the marina area and anchored in a spot that was about 10 feet deep and sunny! Yahoo! The kids woke up, we all undressed and back into the water they go. They had a blast!
We finally made it back to the marina, drove home and started supper while Todd blended me some margarita's.....yummy! After two drinks and a beer I was pretty numb! We had to get rid of some of the booze so why not drink it right? Jen Cambi, you'd be proud of me!
Everybody is all showered, ice cream sundaes demolished and time to get snuggly in bed. Roxy is already in bed and T and L are slowly getting there. I guess we are up and out tomorrow around 10 a.m. so I have been doing laundry and packing most of the stuff up tonight. Definitely going home with less then what we came with. I guess that is because we ate everything. Hence the bloated belly!
The kids did an AWESOME job on vacation. They were well behaved and happy all the time. They played great with their cousins (teenagers) which could be difficult sometimes......damn 15 year olds!
Chalk it up to another great vacation with the family and while here Todd booked our long weekend in September to Mexico. Time for Mommy and Daddy to sneak away for 3 nights for some crazy sex! LOL!
