First Day of FIrst Family Vacation

We finally made it to the beach despite the best efforts of the devil woman inside our GPS system who was hell bent on delivering us to undeveloped land on Pawley's Island. So we had to rely on our noggins and finally found our place at Litchfield. This first family vacation will be amazing - or an experiment in terror. Two year olds seem to both loathe and love change so we're throwing everything out to John Lewis and hope we all make it back alive.

Scott was the responsibles one tonight. Packed, unpacked the car - it's as if we were moving in forever, not a four day weekend. Regardless we packed the right stuff - diapers, swim diapers, my mumu tent that poses as a bathing suit and groceries. Scott put the baby down while mommy focused on the important things - adult beverages and making sure we have free internet access. Hope to talk lots of pictures tomorrow to post so we can all remember this trip (experiment in terror.)

Realized my Spanx do nothing for the bathing suit issue. Yes, they suck my gut in but how do I hide the leggings part? Act as if they were part of the suit? Only wear workout pants over? Or just let everything hang out in all it's glory?

Regardless we are here. Can't wait to enjoy a few days with my boys. Also hope to see our old friends, the Greenes, who are here at the same time. I've warned them that we don't look like we used to - it's as if we ate our former selves. Oh, well. Will worry about dieting tomorrow.

Ambien is kicking in, should make me sleep like the dead for a couple of hours. Will check back in tomorrow. Until then . . .

Whatever. Rock that bathing suit! When I went to Litchfield in May I was all like, ugh. So fat...and pasty. But I just let that fat flow. And I had a great time! And got an awful, awful sunburn. Put lots of SPF on! Because it will ruin a perfectly good night of drinking because you're in so much pain, you can hardly drink.
