It’s a good week when the week comes to an end and you are left longing for more. As we headed home from Wells, Maine on Saturday morning, Mike and I were both wishing we had packed differently so that we would be able to sneak in one last beach day. The sun was shining, the sand was tempting and the thought of a days worth of laundry was daunting but we were CT bound and happy to be unpacked and settled when we headed to bed last night.
We just wrapped up our 3rd annual trip to Moody Beach in Wells, Maine with the Ptaszynski family. I am sentimental and enjoy being under one roof {even if you have whiney, crazy 3 year olds}, just like the good old days. My family vacation for over 15 years at the same beach and this is our 3rd year returning to the same house we rented as kids, but with our kids and significant others in tow {and of course an addition to the house we once stayed in, making it possible!} I love seeing Aiden and Chris get as excited as I did {ok and still do….} when we say that we are headed to the Scoop Deck {the ultimate ice cream shop}. I love dragging our beach gear down the same path that was well traveled in our youth years, many many moons ago. So much has changed but so much remains the same. It’s comfortable…. just the way I like it!
The weather was near perfect. One day of rain and two cooler days but plenty to keep us busy and not a day went by that we didn’t at least pay a visit to the beach. We were thrilled to have Uncle Danny and Uncle Eric join us for a few days of the trip. We relaxed, visited, laughed and enjoyed one another. It was a vacation that you would hope for. A vacation we will count down again until we return {although school certainly throws a kink in that plan for next year..} It’s nice to be home but it is certainly such a nice treat to sneak away from it all and enjoy family time and the things that life is really all about. Thank you Mom and Dad for an amazing trip and another one for the books!
Here’s a sneak peak at our time away….
PS – It did make it easier to come knowing that we had an extra special day planned for today with the Locke’s. We met early and enjoyed the morning and afternoon on their boat on the CT River before packing up and heading to their house for yet MORE fun and a delicious cook out. A day anticipated and enjoyed by all of us! Thank you Keith, Juliet, Kameron and Baby #3 {due very soon} for letting us keep you company!

Glad you had such a nice vacation! Yesterday Elliot was asking if Chris and Aiden could "be visitors to our vacation home." He was very adamant that they come but then was very concerned that we didn't have enough chairs so they could sit at the table and eat pizza with us.
