Even good things must come to an end
By Moriah on April 26th, 2010
I’m back home, sitting again at my dining room table, thinking about our last two days of vacation. (And trying not to be weepy.)
Saturday was overcast and rained a bit on and off all day, so we took the kids to the cove instead of to the beach. They ended up jumping in the bay, IN THEIR CLOTHES. (I knew it was coming the minute they rolled their pants up and pretended to wade in with just their feet.)
We probably should have just saved ourselves the trouble and gone, in suits, straight to the beach. I had to go back to the house for a stack of towels and they all had to get an extra bath. And, obviously, there was lots of extra dirty laundry. But, they LOVED it. (And I get Fun Mom of the Year.)
Once the kids were down for a nap, Andy and I realized we hadn’t had any lunch. We left for an early dinner (to make up for my birthday dinner; when all else fails, go to Chili’s). When we got back the kids were awake and had been fed, so we loaded everyone up and went out for gelato. It was a perfect last-night outing.
We took the kids back to the beach for an hour in the morning before we had to check out of the house. I brought my camera and got few last shots of the beach, some with the kids riding their boards. As you can see, the waves were still really choppy from the weekend storms.
Practicing her ice skating landings (except that she’s 3 and has no idea what ice skating even is):
Notice the band-aids. She fell on the way to the beach and suffered quite a bit of sidewalk sand-rash. Poor girl.
Andy going out for his last run:
SUCH a great trip. But glad to be home. (I think.)

My kids told me the other day that they’d never been to the ocean. That’s not entirely true, but they were so young that it’s no surprise they don’t remember. I think John is going to be doing some work in New Jersey this summer…and he’s requested we tag along. I know the ocean is the ocean, but I was hoping for Florida instead!
