Mini-Vacation

Given the particular circumstances of our life at this time, our family vacation this summer consisted of 2 1/2 days at the beach in Ocean Shores. My husband's wonderful grandparents have "retired" there and graciously allow us to on occasion take advantage of their home (ie take over) when they are out of town. Given the particular circumstances of our life at this time, it was just right! Our eldest spent quality time with his one true love -- water, our youngest happily dug in sand as far away from the water as he could get without leaving Mommy's side, and Mommy and Daddy shuffled barefoot between the two. We also were fortunate enough to have my parents join us for a day and a half, which was a treat for everyone!
