We've decided to take a trip to visit family. It's our typical summer vacation to my husband's brother's family. We've been talking about it for a while now and made the decision to go based on several factors we weighed with safety in mind.
First, we don't typically do much in the way of being around other people when we're at their home. They live on the sound and have a dock with jet skis and a boat which is sort of your own private access to the ocean in a way.
We don't go out to eat when we're there. We go out for one meal usually each summer. The rest of the time we eat in or order delivery. We do go to the local ice cream shop which is only three blocks away, but this year we can eat ice cream at home.
We do go to the beach, but not that much. If the beach isn't packed it is fairly easy to stake out your own space away from other people. We'll have to figure that out when we get there.
I'm packing tactile games, card games, and board games we can all play together. My nephew graduated from college this spring and we're going up to celebrate with him. And to catch some rays and swim in the ocean.
The Big Boy Update: My son was furious this morning that Blake would make him fold blankets from the fort deconstruction. He just wasn't going to do it. Blake didn't let him get away with the tantrum. My son folded the blankets.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: My daughter was upset many times this morning for little things, but when it came to putting the fort materials away, she jumped right in and helped with no complaints.
