Home again
What a lovely getaway, a week at the beach with family and friends. Alas, vacations must come to an end. We were crabby and sad as we pulled away from our beach house this morning, our minds already thinking about the things to do at home, at work.
We had a little bit of time to kill before we headed for the airport so we stopped at another island on the way and walked along the shore to get our toes wet one last time. It was appropriately called Sunset Beach. I put a handful of white, powdery sand in a baggy, a weak attempt at stealing a little bit of paradise for the journey home.
And so here we are, unpacking our clothes and the memories that go with them. Tara took eight outfits but wore the same three over and over again, I'm not sure why. She insisted on wearing only the skirts the entire week. A fancy girl, I suppose. Thankfully the house had a washer and dryer.
It's always good to be home, to sleep in your own bed again. Just wish we had one more week at the ocean, though. Maybe next year...

Welcome home. Shake the sand out of the clothes and shoes and slide back into the dreary routine. But August is nice in Michigan, there's nothing like it.
