Just so you know...

-It is not a good idea to store your daughters binkie in your cleavage on a plane when you are sitting next to a perfect stranger who happens to be male.

-Just because your 2-year-old loved the beach and the sand last time you went to the coast doesn't mean she will like it now.

-If our family plans a vacation you can guarantee that someone will be sick. In a matter of a week and a half each member of our family had at least 1 of the following... fever, runny nose, coughs, laryngitis, and pink eye.

-It is possible to be seen by a doctor in a small beach town in 28 minutes. This includes new patient paperwork, chatting with the doctor and faxing a prescription.

-I offered to clean the waiting room toys after my pink-eye infected daughter played with each one.

-If you are trying to bring 6 lbs of Washington Raspberries on a plane you must follow these simple steps.

1. Place berries in 2 9 x13 Tupperware containers.
2. Wrap each one in cellophane. Lots and lots of cellophane.
3. Make sure the Tupperware will not pop open during flight by wrapping each one in strapping tape. A lot of strapping tape.
4. Place the containers in a space bag and seal. There is no need to suck out all the air, just seal. 5. Place containers wrapped in cellophane, taped and space bagged into a shopping bag.
6. Pray that you will be able to get through security without any questions because the airport is SUPER BUSY and they are just trying to get people through security.

-It really really really stinks (language changed to protect innocent eyes that read my blog) to break your camera on vacation.

-10 days isn't long enough, but yet it is. Weird.

-Thomas was on vacation with us too, but decided to spend every waking minute with his grandparents. I feel like I haven't seen him for 10 days.

- For some odd reason I was excited when the man sitting next to me and Clara on the airplane had an American Kennel Club tag on his carry-on and pulled out a judges book. While he was sleeping I had pretend conversations with him about Buck Laughlin and Cookie and Gerry Fleck. Instead, when he woke up we had a nice conversation about poodles.

- All my suitcases are in the entryway waiting to be unpacked. I am avoiding the entry.

I really like the "10 days isn't long enough, yet it is." SO true! And yep, I would avoid the entry too, 'cause what's worse packing to leave or unpacking when you come home [especially when we're the ones that end up doing it all when the kidlets are little]

Sorry about the sickness and the camera but the berries sound like a nice bonus. :)

Welcome home. Hugs
