Earlier this month we took an impromptu weekend visit to Ocean City, MD. The drive was longer than expected, but both kids did great in the car and we had a fantastic weekend. The hotel had an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, was right on the beach, and had an ice skating rink. We splashed int he surf, dug a big hole in the sand, swam in the pools, and enjoyed special drinks at the outdoor hotel bar (conveniently located about ten yards from our ground-floor balcony). Luckily it shut down around 10pm the first night and really early the second (around 8?).
We have lots of other vacation plans for the summer too: next week Rowan spends some time with Grandma & Grandpa while Lucy & I go to Warm Springs, VA, with Sapna & Oscar (and Nate works), then Nate joins me and the kids for the July 4 weekend at the river with my parents; also in July we have trips to Floyd, VA, and Vermont with friends; in August we have a big trip to California to visit Monkey friends and probably another small trip to the river with my family. Trying to get lots of vacation time in before I (hopefully) start work again in the fall.
Right, so I'm hopefully going to find a job starting in September or so...would love to find something part-time, but not holding my breath. Rowan starts preschool in September. AND my mom and grandmother are going to move in with us (!) to help take care of Lucy and Rowan. Exciting!
