There is no doubt in my mind...this is the best vacation I've ever taken. While I hope that I have many fabulous vacations as I continue to grow older, this one might not be topped. Having Thomas and Catherine and their "others" join us was such a gift, and of course my mother-in-law was with us as well. The house had amazing views of the sound, and there was a view from literally every window. Our bedroom had a private covered deck, which of course had a view! I sat there Saturday afternoon, our last day there, and there was a nice breeze, the sun was out, there was some activity in the cul-de-sac, and I just soaked it all in. I was so grateful for the week we'd just had and for the afternoon we were having.
We had some really good meals, especially the Friday evening meal. We ate at this huge restaurant that had water views from just about every table. We had drinks, meals, and even desserts. Our afternoons were generally spent at the house just hanging out, and I even got to read TWO books! Because we eat early, our evenings were spent at the house hanging out some more. Early in the week, especially, we would all sit out on the back deck and enjoy the water. The full moon was absolutely gorgeous as it lit up the sound. I loved the fact that the kids wanted to be out there with us. We laughed so much on this trip. Thursday night was designed game night, and we laughed even more. Friday we finally got to show Andrew's mom the movie The Princess Bride. She had never seen it before, and we laughed some more. I was so, so grateful for how much time the kids wanted to spend with us. I loved how the kids not only humored me with family picture after picture, but they wanted to make sure we all shared them so everyone had access. It wasn't all perfect of course, as there were seven people with seven personalities, but honestly, it doesn't get much better. I truly don't have the words for how wonderful it was and how grateful I am!
