Ahhhhhh (big sigh indicating relaxation). We have arrived to our happy place! First, I have to tell you how proud I am of our daughters. We left Friday am around 9:00am and made it all the way to the Tamarac service plaza in WV without once stop, complaint, or whining! We had lunch and then made it all the way to Raleigh, NC without stopping! I couldn't believe it! Those kids must take after my sisters and I in the car. We were raised to have bladders like a steel trap - and to know that you only stop for gas!
We spent the night in Raleigh, and left for EI again around 9:00am. And made it all the way with one brief potty break at the request of the 13 year old. The little ones could have help strong!
Our new beach house rocks! We upgraded this year since the kids are getting older and we like to separate the female siblings...less fighting! Every couple has their own room with a private bath, the kids rooms even have their own bathrooms! I will have to post some pics. The rest of the house is awesome and it even has a pool and an elevator, which the kids are loving! It was great after going to the Food "Loin" (family joke) and shopping for 13 people, we just loaded the groceries into the elevator and sent them up to the 3 rd floor kitchen!
Anyway, time to go have more coffee and stare at the ocean...I do a lot of that here. Almost done with book number 1...Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner...and I drove the whole way here, so I have already done much reading in the few hours we have been here!
Have a great week!
Glad it was an uneventful and sounds like almost peaceful drive! I soooo need a beach vacation- again! Enjoy and tell everyone hi.
