Back from Beach Vacation...
We are back from our beach vacation. Eight days was not nearly long enough on the beach. It seemed like it went by so fast and we all had so much fun. The hubs and I already miss it and every year after our vacation we always say we are moving to the beach. Well, we will see but I don't really think we will be going anywhere.
We also had an extended vacation at the in-laws after our beach vacation. We swam in the pool, ate a lot, roasted marshallows outside, played rook too many times to count, and we taught our 5 year old son how to play real baseball. He loves it! This is the first time he has ever shown interest in playing baseball. He has always been into football and soccer.
Anyway, I thought I would briefly mention a few things about our beach vacation.
1.) I got a great dark tan! It's the first real tan I have had since giving birth to a child. I'm sure it will cause skin cancer.
2.) I got lots of rest & relaxation and I didn't touch a computer for 8 days.
3.) We ran into Santa Claus at a seafood restaurant at the beach. He was even nice enough to pose for a picture and give us his email address.
4.) My good digital camera got hit by a wave at the beach and it's a piece of junk now. I'm shopping for a new one but I don't have a lot of extra cash to spend on a camera considering we are moving in a few weeks and we just got back from a vacation.
5.) We stayed on the beach from morning to night. The weather was perfect and our boys LOVED it.
6.) We ran into some family at the aquarium. I hadn't seen them in a few years and it was wonderful but weird that we would see them on vacation. It just shows how truly small the world really is....I guess...
7.) We were at the beach during the biggest Harley bike week ever. The people didn't bother me but the sounds of motorcycles all night long did. I will never go back during Harley bike week.
8.) My almost 2 year old son's hair turned completely white during vacation. It's adorable! Both boys got great tans too!
9.) While away on vacation someone decided they would hack and completely destroy our established mom message boards. We had almost 1,000 members and around 30,000 posts or more. I guess we will be starting over from scratch as that was one area of my site that I never backed up. I won't do that again. Well, I thought the hubs backed it up for me a few times and he thought I did so you know how that goes. Anyway, all the data is gone and I have to start all over. I'd love for all of you to join us in the opening of our new mom message boards. The new boards wil be ready in a day or two with some new options, fun stuff, and some contests!
10.) One of the great things about our beach vacation was that while I was away at the beach having so much fun, I continued bringing in money without doing anything. Passive income is amazing and I'm just so thankful that I have been able to do this.
Here is a photo of me and my 23 month old son making a water hole in the sand.
Photos from our beach vacation can be seen in THIS flickr set. I will be adding more as soon as I get time.

Glad you are back, missed your posts. Sounds like you all had an amazing time. Your boys are so adorable in the pics and you are right about your youngests hair-white, white, white. Good tans for all of you, I am jealous, I need one. May be I'll get a little on Mon. when I go to the lake. Interesting bumping into Santa, was he dressed in red? I just love the beach!
