At least it was last week. Saturday we returned home from a relaxing and fun trip to the Outer Banks, which included my entire family. My parent's rented a beach house, just a short walk to the beach, invited their children and families, and my paternal Grandmother. My Mother commented that the week felt like a MasterCard commercial; "cost of beach house, food for the week, ... spending time with family, priceless." Where I added, "and the cost of therapy after spending a whole week with your family."
Therapy aside we had a great week, and I'm not just saying it because the week was practically free for us. A multi-generational vacation is fun for everyone; Grand kids spent time with the Grandparents and Great-Grandma, Cousins played, Siblings caught up, and by the end of the week I don't think anyone was calling their therapist. My Grandmother was thrilled to just watch the kids run around, and they were thrilled that Grant-Grandma read to them, constantly. Grandpa became head pirate, much to the joy of the Grandchildren. And though our mornings still began early, thanks to children who refused to sleep-in, the days were relaxing for all. My husband and I even snuck in a nap or two during the week.
Turn in later this week, I'll post some pictures once and name some of our favorite activities, other then the beach and the pool.
