Day 228:
Our first full day of the beach turned out to not be at all, really... A late morning (thanks to your Mother's willingness to get up with you at 6:30am leaving me to sleep until 8:30am) turned into a busy day of gathering the things we couldn't fit into the Suburban. Leaving you with all the Grandparents, including Mom-Mom, me and Mommy decided to make the run around Sea Isle, Avalon, and Ocean City gathering the final supplies of the week.
When we left the house the plan was to do 90 minutes of errands, have some lunch, and head out to the beach... By the time we got back, some of the deepest, darkest storm clouds you could ever imagine were rolling into the area and the thunder began to roll from only a few short miles away. After getting all of our booty into the house, the thunder was on top of us, the lightning cracking the sky, and the first few rain drops began to fall.
From that point on we were in the house, Boy'O. It rained almost 4 inches in three hours... Good thing the Olympics are on this week because it gave us something to do and something to talk about while the rain came down... No beach today.
Later in the day we ended up next door at your Uncle John and Aunt Moira's house with Sean, your Aunt Mag, Uncle Mike, Cousins Mike and Danny, Holly, Grandma MeMeow, Grandpa K9, Mom-Mom, and of course me and Mommy for a great lasagna dinner and some fantastic conversation coupled with very good wine. Quite the night. Despite not having any time to spend on the beach today, the prospect of hanging around with family, playing cards, eating and drinking, meant the whole no-time-at-the-beach thing was no big deal.
And here now I'm ready to catch some Z's, Boy'O. And to that I'll bid you Goodnight, Son.
I love you,
-Dad
