We’re finally home! We spent the last four days in beautiful San Diego. Back when we lived there, we used to love the Crystal Pier Hotel and always wondered how it would be to stay there. So when I was able to randomly get a reservation I jumped at the opportunity. And we got cabin #14. And it was lovely. We had this beautiful deck and got to watch sun set over Pacific Beach every night. Quite magical.
After the really long drive, we finally made it home and I am really happy to be here. So were the kids.
Nathaniel was tired but it was too close to bedtime so I tried to keep him up and he wondered around and rediscovered his toys.
David played Wii since it was his day and he was already bummed to have missed some of it.
I just lay on the couch and tried to recover from the car trip. I am feeling exceptionally exhausted. Tomorrow starts the events for David’s school. We have a social and a ribbon cutting in the next two days. And then Tuesday starts school. Wow.
Well I am off to get my life a bit back in order. Put my clothes away. Find my neighbor to get my mail (there’s some happy mail in there so I’ve been waiting all day for her to come back home!) and to read my book.
More tomorrow.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for my amazing husband to drove eight hours there and eight hours back in four days without a word of complaint.
2. I am grateful to be home and that we have such a comfortable, happy home to come back to.
3. I am grateful that it’s only Saturday and I get to rest for one more day before it’s workday again. It’s extra nice to come home from vacation and have some more vacation.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. being home!
2. playing wii.
3. daddy and mommy and nathaniel.
As I get older I find I am liking to travel more. Strange, hiuh? David starts school one week before Riley. I wish school started after labour day – that’s how I remember it when I was young and I feel like he is gypped out of the full month of August as vacation. It sounds like David is really ready for school. It’s such a big step, even for those who went to preschool. I hope we see lots of “first day” pictures this week!
