Beach blahs...

Well, we just got back from this summer's beach trip and I can assure you that the ocean is still there. It is still hot. There are still 40 bazillion people at Myrtle Beach, and I am pretty sure that about 37 bazillion of them stay at Ocean Lakes. There's nowhere to park your golf cart when you go to the pool. Everything is outrageously expensive. I'm not complaining, nor am I surprised, just stating some facts. The kids got bored after about 3 days and since we couldn't afford to spend $200 to check out the newest Dolly Parton Dinner Show, we decided to pack it up and come home early. It is, quite possibly, the BEST decision we have ever made. Everything worked out quite nicely. I think next year, I will only plan for a 3-4 day beach trip. That is plenty. Or maybe I will randomly pick a different state and plan a vacation there. Who knows? All I know is that I feel great right now. All the vacation laundry is finished, pictures are uploaded, camper is clean and stored away, I am home with my cats and my dogs and my fish, and all is right with the world! Home sweet home.
