The kickoff to our weekend vacation in Long Beach Island was sunny and filled with optimism. We got there in good time this morning and hit the beach immediately. Apparently, the wind was blowing the wrong way and we had to evacuate the beach in a hurry due to the ridiculous amount of flies. We could NOT take it. We were jumping up and down and packing up our stuff. At some point, the kids decided to leave us behind and they just took off. Never said so many four letter words in one sentence. Long story short, we got the hell outta there.
We went up and showered and took a drive south down the island to bay village and fantasy island. Had some lunch and ice cream (alex peed behind the ice cream store). Mommy had a quick conference call, so Daddy and the kids went to play at fantasy island. We had a great dinner outside at Tucker’s Tavern in Beach Haven overlooking the bay. Got to hit the rides on our way back up to Ship Bottom. Lots of fun, lots of smiles, lots of insect-born diseases (probably). Looking forward to all waking up tomorrow without malaria.
