Home at last.

We survived. We are tired. We are dirty.

How come you go on vacation to relax from every day life, & then when you get home, you have to relax from vacation? Funny how that works.

We had fun. Lots of photos. I only forgot one little thing. One big, little thing. The video camera! Grr! I even purchased a camera bag that has it's own little compartment for a video camera - took the bag, forgot the camera! At least I had my Canon.

When we left on Monday, Mercedes had no teeth. None. Couldn't even see any or feel a thing. She came home today w/ two teeth. LOL No kidding!

Sarah - would you believe it is 'cooler' in Galveston than here in the DFW area? Yep. It was in the high 80's/low 90's all week. Probably partially because of hurricane Dolly & partially the ocean. When we arrived home today, my car read 106.

The ocean hates my hair. Or my hair hates the ocean. Not sure which. All I know is that I got a lot of "whoa!"s from my husband & one "your hair is alive!" from Bentley. Ha! I have naturally curly hair for those that don't know. It was one wild & crazy mess. Very scary indeed.

Everything at the hotel was great except...we had no hot water. Minor detail. I also learned that I take my washing machine for granted. I couldn't wait to wash clothes - already have a load in. If Mercedes' clothes come clean (due to veggies/fruits mixed with formula = icky reflux) I will be calling Shout myself to congratulate them.

Off to a hot shower! More to come later after we recuperate. Ü

Oh, wait! How could I forget? Now. What are the chances of traveling that far from home & running into a relative? Oh yes we did! I snapped his photo for proof! I really couldn't believe we ran into my brother! My children. How they love their Uncle. Ü
