Back in the saddle again...

Whew! And what a ride it was this week! Mostly fun stuff - but busy, busy, busy!

Let's see.... we had baseball practice, babysitting, a trip to the library and a few parks, and a MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt today. Mixed in, of course, was the obligatory grocery store runs, as well as unpacking, catching up with schoolwork, paying bills, mail, laundry and cleaning - and a doctor appointment for nephew Dylan - quite fun by myself with two other kids in tow. Darn those baby shots!

The trip itself was really, really nice. We visited our friends in Tallahassee for a few days. We had fun catching up, and enjoyed their newly finished house and all the tranquility of a 6 acre wooded lot on the water. Wade especially loved the lake (but not the water moccasins they kept seeing) - fishing just whenever he could! He caught a few fish, but also caught the bug - the building-our-own-house bug. We even bought a house plan magazine!

Sunday we took a slight detour and headed to our favorite vacation spot - Destin. As soon as we got into town, we grabbed a hotel room and went straight to the beach - where we played until sunset. Then we grabbed a few essentials from the crazy-busy Walmart and went back to the hotel pool for some more water fun. Monday we spent as much time on the beach as we could, until we just HAD to begin our 7 hour trek home.

All in all, it was a great, relaxing weekend - highlighted by a bit of planning and dreaming. Maybe one day we can build that house on the water, too! (Wade already spent some doodle time the first day back at work, and came up with a very workable floorplan - budget restraints notwithstanding, LOL!)
