A run down of our vacation.

The drive down was long but uneventful. We left at around 1pm on saturday and arrived about 1am sunday morning.
Once we found our building (thank you rose for answering your phone at 1AM) we dragged everything up to our condo.
Sunday, Rose and I did the grocery shopping and meal planning. we spent some time getting acclimated to the surroundings and checked out both the beach and the pool.
The beach was just across the street and teh pool just outside our condo...PERFECT!!
Hubby slept most of monday and tuesday.
monday evening i took the kids (along with Rose and her hubby) to Broadway at the Beach. It is a really nice retail/restaurant/attraction center. We enjoyed some rides,retail therapy and Ben N Jerry's!!!! Starbucks to!!
tuesday was spent at the beach/pool and getting chinese take out!!! early in the day the big girls and i went back to the Broadway on teh Beach and had girl time at Margeritta Ville and spending their travel bucks! V spent money on shoes and R spent her money on Klaus...her knew Build A Bear.
wed evening we got our portraits taken and got to enjoy some grown up time at Bumz!
thurs we went to view the pictures and lazied around for the afternoon until it was time to go to the aquarium - R went with Rose to a Magic Quest attraction where you use a wand to crack codes to win prizes.
Friday we packed up the van/ hubby and i got to spend some time alone on the beach and then we watched fireworks.
The fireworks went on through the late late morning.....i didnt' get very much sleep at all...and we got into the van and were on our way by 6AM.....i'm so very very gratefull that Hubby was able to drive half of the time....

Today - Monday...we are back to the routine somewhat. V is at practice, i'll be running out to the Aldi. Early this afternoon we will be heading down to Vanderbilt to see Dr. Sandler again to discuss trial meds. Thanks to Tina who will keep the kids for us while we are there. I work this evening and so on....oh yeah, we have to pick the dog up!!

so with that...i'll sign off....my other three are waking up and need to eat....
oh, and BTW..the renters are discussing a lease/purchase agreement with someone....can we all pray that they work out a quick deal and can be out in the next couple weeks?????!!!!!!!!

Love to all!!1
