What I did on my summer vacation…..part 2

There is nothing…NOTHING….like being by the water.  For me it is PEACE. COMFORT. JOY. EASE.  I just love it.  Why, oh why do I live in the desert?!?!

My family goes on a vacation every summer together.  By “my family” I mean my immediate family (hubby and [2] kiddos) AND my dad and his wifey.   The past three years we have gone to Cannon Beach, Oregon.  We get there, move in and start relaxing IMMEDIATELY.  It’s just easy – especially since we have stayed at the same house each time.  We quickly get into a daily routine, which sure doesn’t include MUCH, but ENOUGH. We. Just. Love. It.

We spent 10 days there.  STILL not enough time.  I really do dread coming back home, getting into a funk the day before we leave.  I don’t like to be that way, but I just can’t seem to help it.  The simple life we live on vacation suites me just fine.

But, I’m back.  I’m back to 100+ degree temperatures, no beach to be seen and having to care for the kiddos (as sweet and terrific as they are) all by myself during the day.  (I LOVE sharing the responsibility!)  Ho HUM.

I wish to be here again:
