Off for the Beach!

Posted on June 16, 2006 by throwingmarshmallows

Well, I think that we are ready to go. Mostly packed, although I am sure that I will be scrambling a bit tomorrow to get everything in the car.

For those who don’t know, we (the boys and I) are lucky to be able spend the summer in Ocean City, Maryland (we have a place down there). We did it for the first time last year and had a blast. We are really looking forward to getting down there. Jeff will come down for long weekends and we hope to be able to convince him to take off a week or two now and again.

We do have internet access down there (of course!) so it will be like we never left.

Well, gotta go get some sleep…next time we talk it will be from the beach!

About throwingmarshmallows

I am a homeschooling mom to two sweet, energetic boys although I am probably not exactly what you would expect (definitely NOT your stereotypical homeschooler, if there is really such a thing). I support progressive political causes (yes, liberals can and do homeschool!) and I have found a spiritual home in the Unitarian Universalist Church. I have no real idea of how I want to use this blog, but will probably focus on homeschooling, things that I am learning from my boys, personal thoughts and opinions and maybe some liberal politics thrown in, who knows!

    Hey Steph! I didn’t know you were so “hip” . . . having a beach house for the summer ;-) Okay, so does “hip” indicate I’m not up on current cool lingo? . . . LOL!

    One of my best friends just invited our family to join their family on their yearly beach trip, so I signed up for the condo today. It will be at their low rates . . . hurricane season (in mid-September). . . LOL! But, it should be fun to do with so many children in her family that match up beautifully with those in mine. And, as homeschooling families, we can enjoy the off-season when everyone is in school.

    My hubby will also feel a need to stay behind for work reasons, but intends to do the weekend with us, and maybe one work day. With everyone pitching in, it should still be fun.

    Have fun this summer!

    Oh, I think I just turned green with envy, lol. It took me a long time to learn to love living in the mountains… but then I read a post like this and I want ditch it all and run to the beach. I would *love* to live near the ocean for the summer. Have a great time and be sure to post lots of pictures for us to drool over!
