Greeting From Vacation!!!

I am 4 days into my vacation and, for the most part, I am having a good time.  I am enjoying the time with my family, and mostly enjoying my time with K’s family.  I am keeping in touch with T, mostly though text messages and a light night phone call, after the kids have gone to bed.  I miss him a lot and I know he misses me.

Yesterday we saw a July 4^th parade, allegedly the oldest continuous July 4^th parade in the nation.  A claim I will attempt to verify later.  It was very hot and we did not stay until the end, even though we had packed a cooler full of drinks..  At the parade there were lots of guy running around with no shirts, but sadly most of them looked like me.

After we (K, the kids and I), all went to a beach right on the Atlantic ocean.  There were a lot of people there, but not so many that it was hard to find a spot of put down our stuff. There were pretty good waves which was cool because this is the first time that my youngest son and daughter have been in waves that big.  We had a lot of fun.   There was also a lot more eye candy for me.  Plenty of hot guys to look at.  I did not have the courage to try to take any pictures of any of them to share.

K had a good time too.  The ocean and the beach is a place she goes to regenerate herself.  She does not get there nearly enough, but she finds that just being there for a while makes her feel better.  While we were playing in the waves with the kids, I asked her if she was happy.  She said she was, but a few things could have made it better.  The beach less crowded.  It could be sunset. And finally, it would be better for her if AJ was there too.

I have been thinking about T all week, but my thoughts turned to him again.  I thought about how much fun it would be to share this experiences with him.  I think frolicking in the surf with him would be a lot of fun.  He does really well with my kids and they love him.  Like K would like to have AJ with her, I would have really liked T to be there with me.

I also thought about the eye candy walking around the beach.  While they were fun to look at, looking at them, make me think about T.  (No, I am not just saying that because T reads this blog)   They made me remember how lucky I am to have a man who loves me, even if he cannot be with me as much as I would like.

We are planning a short get away over Labor day weekend.  His business will be closed for a few days and we will be able get away.  We don't know what we are going to do yet, but I am sure it will be great to just be with him for a few days.
