Early morning to get on the road with the aim to be within striking distance of home by lunchtime. Alex and Gemma slept in our room so the whole family could move as a unit in the house at 430am without waking up those left behind. Four humans in a queen sized bed is not likely to be recommended by anyone ever. Pretty uneventful drive home with exception of Alex’s four alarm dump that required a rest stop in Maryland. In Delaware, we stopped at #15 on the list of towns that look exactly alike because it is the only one with Chick-Fil-A. Lucy had her very first experience with fast food and she was only interested in the milkshake. They messed up Gemma’s order twice so they kind of took the “fast” out of “fast food”...gave Alex a chance to teach Lucy how to work the car horn.
We had a nice walk into town when we got home to stretch the legs and have some Ramen for dinner. Followed by the obligatory six pack of snacks from World of Cupcakes in Hinds Plaza. Awesome vacation but great to be home, sober, and in our own beds.
Alex’s favorite parts of vacation were playing pool (now asking for a pool table from Santa), night swimming, and attacking the other house with water balloons....”wait, what does stealth mean?” Gemma’s favorites were the pool, the hot tub, and hanging with Addison. Lucy hands down loved the beach and ocean the most.
