Poor Chelsea!
She's so Disney vacation trained!
I have to be honest, I'm with her. We've got a cruise on the horizon next year (long story) and when one of my girlfriends, who has been on a few, said to me, well you could read on the boat, I thought...what...I can sit and read?
We're so used to doing. And then I got really excited! All that uninterrupted reading time! I know you know what I mean.
I like to see how your Disney family meets a relaxing vacation, it's really neat.
Uninterrupted reading time is very exciting!
We're so used to doing, too, and this trip was a nice blend of doing and relaxing.
I think jetskis would be a blast!
You are welcome to them.
Connor with longer wavy hair looks just like you, Jackie.
Really? We always think Connor looks just like Charles.
It's sweet that brother and sister found comfort in each other in a 'strange' place.
It certainly wouldn't have happened like that if it had been mandated.
Morning on the screened-in porch with a book sounds lovely.
It was heavenly! Just me, my book, my coffee, and the squirrel.
Love it.
It is adorable!! I keep thinking we should do a long weekend at the beach. Long Island has to have something like this! So glad Charles was loving it, it's fun to see him excited and so into it!
Oh, I imagine Long Island has all sorts of options. That would be a fun weekend.
You mean I have that many more years of sticks in the house?!
Without a doubt! And rocks and leaves and all manner of other things! I still have to check Connor's pockets when I do wash, and sometimes when I forget, I have to go stop the dryer and find the rock that is crashing around.
Thanks!
Living here in NYC I have come to LOVE the ocean. I want to be there every single weekend! There is nothing like it!
I LOVE the ocean, too! I would move to the beach in a heartbeat.
Glad you did the little dance!!
Couldn't pass that opportunity up! LOL!
And I have many more years of this to look forward too it seems. Sigh.
Maybe Henry will be a neater eater than my two.
So glad Charles and Chelsea made it back and enjoyed it! I would have been a nervous wreck myself. I am NOT a fan of those sort of things either. And like Charles, Joe loves them.
Now that they survived the experience, I think it is great that they did it. At the time, though, I was not happy about it.
The more I hear about that porch...the more I like it!
I am still missing it!
Jet skis are fun and we've been on them several times (well, Ramon and I, not the girls)...but, yes, it is very easy to flip them over and fall in the water.
Yikes! I think I am glad I didn't know that ahead of time.
Chelsea with her questions sounds a lot like Miren (DD7) and our friends' DS6 while we were down in the Keys last month: what are we doing today? when are we doing it? is it time yet? when are we going fishing? when are we going to the pool? when are we going to eat? when are we going fishing? when are we going fishing? when are we going fishing?
Yes, that is how it was multiple times a day with Chelsea.
Blake and I talk about having a porch by the water in the first house that we buy and being able to drink coffee on it in the mornings. So totally jealous of your mornings on yours!
Sadly I only had five mornings of doing that -- I would love a lifetime of that morning tradition!
For a second there, I thought that Chelsea was on her cell phone in the last picture! My cousin is totally in that, I can't NOT text stage. Glad to see that Charles and Chelsea survived and had a great time!
I am surprised she was able to leave her cell phone for an hour to go jet sking.
Sounds like a fun way to spend the day! Relax in the morning and then try jet-skiing in the afternoon! It certainly looked like fun! I've never tried it but I would like to some day! I should use the Disney voucher some day!
Charles and Chelsea had a blast on it!
Poor Connor and Chelsea! That is so sweet that they were spooked so they hung out together!
Some people are like that in unfamiliar places! And I love Chelsea's Disney-brainwashing! What do you mean there are no set plans for the day?!
I'm glad she and Charles had fun on the water while you and Connor had fun hanging out on the shore!
I know -- I did feel a bit bad that they were spooked, but they managed to cope. I was surprised they didn't wake us up.
A fun, yet relaxing day. My DS is like Chelsea. As soon as I could understand what he was asking as a toddler it was always about food or plans. He likes his structure.
Apparently so does Chelsea which I didn't realize until this trip -- I guess because I always have things structured so she doesn't have to demand it.
I love the cottage! It is so adorable.
Charles and Chelsea very brave! I could never jetski.
Tybee looks so peaceful and relaxing.
Thanks! Yes, Charles and Chelsea are definitely my fearless ones.
It cracks me up that Chelsea couldn't relax on this vacation when she was the one who wanted to go to the beach!
I know it! Miss I-Don't-Want-To-Go-To-Disney-I-Just-Want-To-Relax-At-The-Beach turned into Miss-What-Do-You-Mean-There-Is-No-Set-Plan???
Serves her right!
I'm glad your jet-skiers made it back in one piece, sounds like a fun time for them!
They loved every minute of it!
I'm kind of like Chelsea is when we go on vacation. I always want to have a plan and I never want to have down time!
The jet skiing adventure looks like it was a lot of fun!
They had a great time jet skiing. I usually don't want any down time on vacation, but since this was a beach trip, I knew there would be a good bit of it.
We had a very loose plan for each day -- one activity, the beach, and the restaurant where we would eat. That just wasn't structured enough for Chelsea, though.
But good that Chelsea & Charles had fun!!
I wish I could bring a blender when we go camping
