The entite week we did a LOT of just sitting and staring at the ocean and soaking up warm sunshine. We wore the same clothes nearly every day, ate quick pre-packaged meals, like frozen lasagne that I could stick in the oven. I loved not having loads of dishes and laundry to do, but by the end of the week we definitely craved fresh, homemade meals.
We woke up to dolphins out the bedroom window. Pretty spectacular. Quincy labeled it the best day of her life.
We discovered Aaron's Auntie Valle, Uncle Tom, cousin Kate, and her 2 boys were staying at some condos just 15-20 up the coast. They invited us over to their beach and we spent the day visiting and catching up. So fun for our children to meet Kate's children. Instant friendship! Tommy and Corbin are the same age and Drue and Soren match up as well. I spent several hours on a warm beach with a baby playing in the sand by my side or snuggled in my lap. The kids were in cousin heaven and it was a truly wonderful day.
Tom and Valle's condo had a kids play area, some outdoor pools, and a lazy river. The water was freezing! Kate and I stayed back at the playground with the little ones and sipped virgin piña coladas while Aaron took the big kids and braved the lazy river.
Every night we pulled out the sofa bed in the living room (the girls got freaked out sleeping on the first floor and preferred to be in the living room, a bit closer to everyone else on the third floor) and watched a movie, stayed up way too late and slept HARD. Just how a vacation should be.
