Vacay!!!

I am sitting here at work (it's 5:30 in the morning) desperately wishing I wasn't here, but rather sound asleep on a lumpy pull out sleeper sofa at a condo. I got vacation...for 2 whole days!!!

We drove down to Daytona on Saturday afternoon. By the time we got everything settled it was late and rainy, so we took the rest of the evening to do stuff like inventory the contents of the condo, buy groceries for the week and explore the grounds. Sunday, we got up early and hit the beach. It wa so much fun to be able to sit and do nothing but read a good book and listen to the waves crashing on the shore. I took some pictures--it was gorgeous!!! But, alas, I am here and not at home. Hopefully they'll get posted buy the end of the week. Michael bought a new skim board. He's pretty good...I suck!!!! The, in the afternoon, Drea, Chris and the boys came out for Drea's birthday. We got dinner at Red Lobster (yummy Cheddar Bay Biscuits!!!). Then we spent the evening out on the beach. It was so much fun watching the boys explore and discover the sea for the first time. Especially Jordan. Once he realized that the water wouldn't swallo him, he wanted to crawl right into it!!!

Then, Josiah decided he had to "go poopy". Well, we really didn't have anywhere to go. We were a good distance away from the condo. So, I said "Siah, just go poopy in the water. That's what Nemo does". It took some convincing, but he was game. I got his little Cars swim trunks pulled down just enough and along came a huge wave. It knocked both me and him down. My heals went over my head and I lost my hat. He got plowed face down into the sand. He looked at me with these huge eyes and dripping wet and said "Beffy, I still gotta go poopy!" I laughed so hard, I could hardly stand up. Mom and Drea were laughing so hard as well. The poor little guy thought that he was trouble!!!

I can't wait to get back and see what's going down there. In the mean time, I'm here at the salt mines...
