“There is no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” Mark Twain
This describes my vacation perfectly. 10 people; 5 of my in-laws, 1 niece (2 1/2 years old), 1 nephew (7 months), and Aaron, Ellie (20 months) and I, spent 5 days at the beach together. Spent it in an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, miniscule camper. Yes, I said C A M P E R!
It wasn’t that bad really. No one at church believed me. But I am the absolute luckiest girl I know. I have marvelous in-laws. Sometimes I think I get along better with them than my own family. I love my family, do not get me wrong, but my in-laws are soooo easy going.
I got burnt slap up on Monday. So bad that I couldn’t stand the sun on my shoulders until Wednesday. We went outlet shopping. I ate like a stuck pig and gained about 3 pounds. But I had a blast! Ellie had so much fun, she is such a water rat. She loved the ocean! She is so brown now, she looks like a little Indian!
I got lots of good reading done too. I finished Ireland, which is a HUGE novel and now my like one of my favorite books EVAH! And I got to read almost 200 pages of gods in Alabama on the way home. It was also great. I will post my reviews too.
All in all, it was a great vacay but I am glad to be home!
So jealous!! The beach is what I miss most about the Carolinas. Topsail Island, NC was always my hangout, and I've been having urges for it lately.
I think I would've gone nuts in the camper. You are a stronger woman than I!
Glad you're back! Missed your posts!
haha so you like topless Topsail? There is stick going on right now because the city ordinance down there doesn’t say anything about being topless on the beach. So people are complaining and last I heard the city officials are saying that there are no plans to change it.
