We got home last night from the beach after having a fantastic time. We spent the week at Emerald Isle, NC with the Ottermans and their three kids, whose ages mesh perfectly with our own daughters. The key to our success, I think, had a lot to do with our adherence to this demanding schedule:
Sunday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Monday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Tuesday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Wednesday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Thursday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Friday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Saturday: played on beach & swam in ocean
Some other summative and notable facts:
Collective hours spent waist-deep in the Atlantic Ocean: 7
Pages read: 100 (I would have liked this to be higher, clearly)
Hours spent writing: 2 (ditto)
Adults (out of 4) who suffered sunburn: 2
Kids (out of 6) who suffered sunburn: 0
Movies seen theatrically: 1 (Batman Begins {sigh, we once had such high hopes for Nolan})
Meals of alive-earlier-that-day fish and crustaceans: 2
Beverages consumed: approx. 86 units of beer, 2 bottles of wine, 15 pitchers of Margaritas
Husbands v. wives Pictionary standings: 0 W, 4 L (a source of continual humiliation)
Man, I thought it was a business trip. Glad you and the family had fun. And yeah, BB was a bit of a letdown.
