Pics of the Day ~ Father’s Day at the Beach ~
It was surreal to drive to the beach yesterday, knowing that it was the last time life would take us down that path. We talked about wishes to return to this area for fututre vacations and how we never would have thought it would be so hard to move on. We pondered how J’s chemistry has taken us so far from home. Exploring Facebook, has made me realize how few people ever leave home. We all talked big dreams of blowing that popcycle stand and living an exciting life in Vancouver, Toronto … anywhere but there. Yet I am one of the few that left.
Father’s Day was awesome! I was concerned that our day at the beach was going to be cancelled. We took Ethan and Becca to the pool on Saturday, being that we live in the ghetto we did not see the broken beer bottle until J resurfaced with a gash on his foot. Poor guy was out of swimming for the weekend! Being the trooper that he is, J bandaged his foot and ventured to Laguana beach! He lounged with Ethan in the shade while I trekked back and forth with Becca to the water’s edge. It was a wonderful day. Somehow I got burnt to a crisp (I even applied sunscreen darn it!) but the rest of the crew came home unscathed.
We are spending our last week here, preparing. I have been trying to organize, purge and prepare all the while entertaining the almost three year old and the newborn. Fun stuff. Tonight I am going out for dinner with Marina, then tomorrow we are celebrating Jamie’s “pretend” birthday at Holly’s. How can it be time to say good-bye so soon?

Poor J cutting his foot like that. I am glad that he had a good day despite that. Good luck with the move!
Sounds like fun…minus the cut and all..
Hope J had a wonderful father’s day!!!
I hope his foot gets better. Love the pictures as usual.
Glad you had a good Father’s Day – more adventures to come!
I’m one of the few that left too – it’s odd looking back on it sometimes. Yay for going out and about even with a cut foot!
Oh the blues skies and the even bluer water look oh so inviting. I’m jealous.
Hoping the next week goes well for you guys. Your eternal optimism leaves me on awe! You ROCK!
I loooooooooooove the ocean. I would have such a hard time too. Change is always so hard. Just because of how we view it.
Sounds like you had a fun day, but *ouch* about the foot. Poor J!
It’s tough to move on, I remember when I left Vancouver and moved to Montreal, I so hated Montreal but 10 years later as I drove out of the city for Toronto my heart was broken and I couldn’t believe I was leaving.
Sounds like this move is one step closer to home in some ways.
Glad ya’ll had a great Father’s Day!
Ouch, poor J. Hope he’s doing better today.
Wow! 1 week? don’t forget to send me your new address.
You’re going to make great memories with your new adventures.
Still, it’s sad to leave the old ones.
sounds like fun times at the beach. The beach is always so calming for me.I will be disappointed if i can’t get there this summer!
Happy Padre’s Day J
