Home again, Home again, Jiggety-Jig!

Okay, well, not until tomorrow morning, but we are definitely ready to be home.  I plan to spend much of today getting things ready here so we can leave early in the morning for our 12-hour return trip.  Of course, that’s a long drive, but we’ll be home at the end of it.  Yippee!

Highlights from the week (I’ll get pictures for you next week):

  • One of the areas we toured in the aircraft carrier was the galley, where they had posted the recipe they used for chocolate chip cookies.   The recipe made 10,000 cookies (one day’s worth) and called for 112 lbs. of chocolate chips, 100 lbs. of sugar, and 1.5 lbs. of baking soda!
  • Yesterday we did not do very much because we both got pretty sunburned on Wednesday.  Thankfully, we both recover from burns quickly, but I’ll be peeling fabulously in a couple of days!
  • I’ve discovered that my favorite time of the day to be on the beach is sunset.  It’s cool (it’s been over 90 here every day and muggy), and the colors of the setting sun make the waves turn a warm, rosy color. 
  • I have enjoyed watching the crabs on the beach.  They hide in their little holes and work all day digging it deeper.  They come to the top of the whole, pause, scurry out, fling a load of sand, scurry in, pause, then disappear into the sand.  And they do it over and over.  So fun to watch!

Happy Friday!

  1. Am I the only one that notice that the English teacher used the word whole instead of hole when talking about the crabs?  I expect so much more from an expert in the English language!–Chris

  2. This week has gone incredibly fast if we look at it from your view…very long for us who have had to work!! It sounds like you had a great time…Yay!!

  5. The crabs DO rock. And…I say the exact same thing when we pull into our driveway after a trip…very scary. It’s 90s and muggy here as well….with no beach. Bah.
