I suppose I should say how my trip went, and, well, let you know I’m still alive. In short: It was not the greatest trip ever.

Example 1: Savannah whined or cried much of the time.  Typical 2 year old? Yes.  Bored girl? Yes. Why?

Example 2: It rained the entire trip. Poor girl. We prepped for a week to get ready to go for the beach and she was SO beyond excited!  And…it rained and rained and was freezing cold for 3 out of 4 days.  And this beach was not Myrtle Beach, folks. There is nothing to do for a 2 year old but the bowling ally (which, was one fun and happy event of the trip) and the aquarium (also fun…I got to watch a snake peel a layer of skin! I normally HATE snakes, but behind a think glass and something this rare to see was cool in my book). So, we ended up watching a LOT of movies.

Example 3:  On Wednesday, it was still a tiny bit chilly but rain wasn’t supposed to happen so we finally get to go to the beach without freezing our buns off.  I do not lie…no more than 20 minutues after setting up at the beach, me in the beach chair settling into a book, them playing in the water (Crazy kids…)….it starts to rain.  It had been completely clear the entire day until, of course, we go the beach.  It was ridiculous.

The high lights? As I said, bowling with Savannah for the first time (and I beat Mark the second round!), going to the aquarium, discovering the amazingness of Quiznos Subs and their giant warm cookies (we ate there 3 times…), and FINALLY getting a warm and rain free day on Thursday (the day we left, of course) to enjoy the beach.  We’re all a tiny bit golden now, and very tired.   I’m so done with long trips right now. And that wasn’t even that long of a trip in total (5 and half hours all together). At least we ended on a high note…

Now, my summer vacation is officially over and it’s back to school for me.  I’ve already got one week down and the class is very laid back and fascinating.  Its just the way to spend the next 2 months of my life if I have to take classes (my next class in July is with the same teacher as well).

But for the weekend, I’m off to the mountains to visit my Mom. Alone!  I have never left Savannah with Mark for a weekend out of town so I am happy to break that and have a relaxing weekend away.  Have great weekend, folks!

P.S. Still waiting for miscarriage. Yet, my belly is growing so not sure what is going on.  My gut and answer to my prayers keep saying “wait” so I am.  I’ll prob. call for a check up in a week or two. Yes, I know the risk of infection but I trust my God to tell me when to make the next move.
