"Vacation...have to get away!" (Go Bangles!)
Sigh. I already miss it. Especially the ocean. And the way my kids' faces lit up when they saw the ocean. I have tons of stories and tons of pics. But I am too lazy to tell you any right now. I promise to download some pics soon!
I will tell you that after driving 14 hours during the night, we arrived to Destin to find out that your's truly locked the storm door on our house back in Indiana. I was soo good at arranging dog sitters, providing keys, instructions, emergency contact info. And then, I locked the friggin' storm door. My dog sitters all had keys to the front door, just couldn't get to it. (Our house is 40 years old and every door has a separate key...how annoying!)
Oh yeah, and that was AFTER our credit card got declined at 2am in the middle of Alabama after we filled up on gasoline. (Can't complain too loudly though. Thank you Chase Visa for putting a hold on our card as soon as they realized that we 1. never used it at a gas station before 2. never used it in Kentucky or Tennessee before. We got that cleared up quickly while we played phone tag with several friends back home who were trying to break into our house. (Know what? We have a SECURE FRIGGIN' HOUSE!)
We finally got that figured out (thanks to several handy friends who figured out how to get it open without breaking it and without us paying a locksmith!) but had to wait two hours to get into the beach house. With two tired and cranky kids. And 90 degree heat. And two tired and cranky parents.
The good news is that the rest of the week went FABULOUSLY as we bounced from one coast of Florida to the other in between Hurricanes Gustav and Hanna. We spent hour upon hour on the sugar sand beach which was literally across the street and hours at the pool which was right outside our cabana house door. (K called it our "Cabama house"... isn't that cute?) The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and we are thrilled for our dear sister and her husband.
And yes, K got to spend 24 hours at her dear Mac's house in Jacksonville. I'm not sure what she talks about more, playing at Mac's house or the ocean. Thanks to Mac and family for their hospitality! And thanks to Jenn G, the Irwin's and the Wickens' for being such great friends as to give up their Saturday morning to help get into our house so our dog could pee!
Look... I told you some stories anyway, didn't I! I'm such a chatterbox. I will download pics soon. We got some great shots of the kids!

So glad the trip went well! Can't wait to see the pics!
I, too, have been too lazy to blog or download pix and video of the lovebirds playing together. They are so freakin' cute!!! You guys won't believe it. It is like they never were apart. BTW, I think you left your phone charger. I will bring it to IN with me.
