Rainman and the kids had an awesome time.
I did not, for various, too detailed and whiny reasons to go into here. But, it boils down to the fact that I really ended up doing the same things I do at home: cooking, cleaning, laundry and following little people around to the activities they wanted to do.
Don't get me wrong. I love doing those things for my family, but, I wanted a break. I wanted other people to take care of me and clean up after me. I wanted to do something that I wanted to do. Whine. Whine. Whine.
The worst part was that the rest of my family was clueless about how I was feeling until I managed to blow up one day at the waterpark because they were bugging me to go on the waterslide. I even did the finger shaking thing at them. That is so not me.
(Except I didn't look nearly this cute or happy....remember I was in my swim suit......)
Anyway, Rainman and I ended up having a good talk about it after he opened his eyes and realized that yes, he and the kids were having a fabulous time and I was doing the "same old, same old" in a hotel room.
It wasn't awful the whole time though....so here are some pictures of our visit to the ocean.
There was a whipped cream eating contest....
None of my children emerged victorious....but then didn't seem to care!
A-man discovered his love of all things pirates...
The girls became princesses....
Got to spend time with Grandma....
I learned that A-girl and my mother-in-law can consume really large servings of food with no leftovers.
I learned that I really love the ocean. Listening to it, watching it (plus I got to see some dolphins) and playing in the sand with my girls....
That D-man and Rainman look a lot alike...
Except the differences in their outfits, cracks me up!
We all decided that there was just something about the ocean that we loved.
I am thankful that we were able to take a vacation at all. Selfishly though, I am hoping that I will get a little more vacation time myself.....next time.
