We have been planning our "vacation" for a little while now. We planned to leave on the 11th of July, mostly b/c my mom is superstitious and didn't want to drive on Fri. the 13th; however, we left on the 13th anyway. In this past month I have heard that stupid saying "when it rains it pours" about a gazillion times!! Everything just kept happening, one day we are going then the next it is just me and my brothers (and Max), then everyone but Mom is going ....
Soooo... we finally get all packed and we are ALL going, driving a 1000 mile trip to Delaware on Friday the thirteenth. We went to Sussex county and stayed with my Aunt Mary for a couple days, then up to Wilmington with another aunt, my cousin, and her daughter, then Saturday was the "wedding reception", and Sunday in MD with another aunt before we left.
This was just about the craziest time I have ever spent on a vaction ever. It was so go go go I was just exhausted. After being home and looking at the very few pictures that I do have, I felt like I didn't really get to visit with anyone. With all the chaos I somehow missed out on that.
We did have fun though, I was able to see some of my Dad's family that I haven't seen in about 3+ years, and I was able to put Max on some of the rides at Rehoboth, (which he hated)
And the little one-on-one time that we did have with everyone was great. I think I just wish that I had more time to visit, but with a 1 1/2 yr. old I felt like all I did was run around.
I do wish that I would have been able to see some of my old friends. That would have been nice, I guess I will plan things a little better next time. Hopefully I can get up to visit before the next wedding, and it will actually be a VISIT.
All in all I did have fun though. It was nice getting back home to my bed after it was all over :)
