The sound of the waves lapping and the trees rustling accompanied all our morning shufflings; the breeze was cool, the sun was warm and cozy; the board games were worn and musty; the trains were thunderous and long. Yes, the tracks were so close, we could've spit on them if the trees had been a little thinner. But, hello? Four boys? How is that not cool?
I discovered a few things about my boys during this getaway. They LOVE board games. They LOVE the beach (as in, "roll around soaking wet in the sand making sand angels" love). And they LOVE the attention of their mother and father. I've decided to start a cottage fund - right after the emergency fund, the van replacement fund, the mortgage fund, the college fund, and the retirement fund are in place. No, I'm serious. I can see my family seriously benefiting from some intentionally planned r&r.
The Plug, designed by Dave with tissues on hand, which protected the carseat from very bad treatment until we could get home to the diapers!
My youngest, loving the outdoors.

The view directly in front of the cottage.
East facing view. Can you feel the serenity?
Kurt, the kind stranger who set all our minds at ease when he allowed Dave to use his laptop to fire off a work-related email. 
Says it all, doesn't it?
