goin' down the shore...


Next week is the week that my 3 oldest are going to Grammy's for a week. They are excited - and so am I!! Todd & I were planning to go 'down the shore' for the day on Monday to look around for some place to take the fam for a week in September for vacation. (I found a bunch of places online to rent for a week that are really reasonable, but we need to see where they are actually located). Then Todd surprised me by taking off work on Tuesday so we can stay overnight!! I'm so excited. My mom agreed to keep Luke, so we're free... One minor glitch. We can't find a place to stay for Monday night that's under like $150-$200!! For one night!! Any suggestions? (It doesn't even have to be right in OC... CLEAN is my main criteria!)

As a side note...something that adds to my giddiness about going...Todd & I have never been to the beach by ourselves. Just thinking of it makes me feel relaxed. We've always gone with friends, or youth groups, or toddlers (which by the way is usually anything BUT relaxing!). But this time it's just the two of us. Maybe we'll catch a sunset...

Have you tried hotels.com? I use it a lot. They have great deals.

YEAAAA! I'm so happy for you! Let's hear it for the grandmothers!! What beach are you looking at?

I guess since you're looking for a place at the beach to take the family in September, that rules out coming here? :o(

I don't seem to have much luck in people taking me up on my offers of vacations for free. Last year it was like pulling teeth when I was offering a week for free at a condo RIGHT ON the beach at Myrtle! The only cost would have been transportation. Maybe people are trying to tell me something and I'm just not getting it! ROFL Oh well...maybe another year.

Enjoy your time with Todd. I know you'll have a great time when you go with the kids.

Love ya.
