Vacation, All I Ever Wanted. . .

So, we're on vacation! And, we're determined to have a blast despite the world's crappiest vacation weather. It's almost like we haven't even left Massachusetts, where it has been wet for so many days, I swear my home is growing a fine coat of moss.

But, we've just spent 5 lovely days in Pennsylvania where we gawked at the Amish, rode an authentic steam train (which is probably destroying the ozone layer as I type), screamed in terror at Dutch Wonderland (what can I say? those swings were S-C-A-R-Y), and soaked up much love and affection from Fairly Odd Father's adorable aunt and cousin. We also saw UP, the movie, and, let me tell you, that movie is hard to watch from behind two hands pressed over the eyes. Did they really have to make the "high in the sky" scenes so authentic? I was either crying over the plot or cowering in my movie seat with sweaty palms.

One thing though? When did my kids get so loud and restless? I haven't wished for a tranquilizer gun so much in my entire life.

Today, we took a scenic drive through Philadelphia via Rt 76 and arrived in Ocean City, New Jersey to visit FOF's aunt and uncle. The rain, bless its little soul, decided to follow us here, but that didn't stop us from running on the beach and getting what is known as "ocean hair".

We leave tomorrow, just in time for the sun to come out. Isn't that a funny coincidence? Ha! Ha!

I've also heard that it will be raining when we get back home. I'm putting a hit out on Mother Nature.
