We are here, we are here, we are HERE!

Everyone survived the trip, even the cat, although he really wasn't happy riding in a car with no AC. Of course, neither was Don, so they complained to each other all the way down about what jerks the rest of us are.
But we are here, and the AC is working in the house now, so yay! We're unpacking, rearranging, trying to figure out where to put everything, copying keys, buying groceries, and tonight, for a couple of hours, we went to the beach. The kids LOVED it - rolling in the sand and the surf and coming home (home! it took 20 minutes to get back!) with shorts full of sand and ground-up shells. We had dinner (mac-n-cheese and peanut butter toast) together at 9:30pm, and now I'm sitting down with my brand new internet connection. Hooray!
I am freaking tired.

Yeah! You are there, all of you!!!! Now, on to the next ten thousand steps!
How many times did the kids say, when are we going to the beach,Mom?

Give me a call when you get a chance.

Great! So glad you checked out the beach and soooo happy the kids loved it! 9:30 and eating dinner---must have had a fun time. Email me your new email address and phone number. I tried calling Don's cell---but disconnected! Miss you all. Use my regular email not my gmail. Love, Love, Love. Webcam when possible.
