We saved our beach vacation for the third week in September - rates go down, it's not as hot, and it's not as crowded. We'll continue to do this until the kids are in school, since it gives us something to look forward to all summer.
This year, we rented a house with my parents (MeMe and Hat-Dad) and Grandmas Di & Peg. It was a nice house with plenty of space and a pool out back. Getting there was no fun, though. On the way to the coast we hit a major traffic snarl due to road closures, and the drive that normally takes 5-6 hours took 11-12. It was pretty horrible. No pictures from that day - too traumatic for all of us.
The first full day there, we spent most of the time at the house. Blowing bubbles with Grandma Di was a big event.
One other fun pic from the first day - the best bunk bed we've ever seen. We removed the ladders so the kids couldn't climb to the top, but we're thinking this may be a great bed for them to have someday - a full bed on the bottom, and two separate twin beds on top. We did our best to have them sleep in their sleeping bags on the floor so we wouldn't have to worry about anyone falling out of the full, but...
Stay tuned for more pictures and stories from the rest of the trip soon!
