Fun in the sun

This past weekend, Nick, Jordan, Mac, myself, Julie (Jordan's mom) and Grandmom and Pop all headed to Rehoboth Beach, DE for the weekend for some good ol' relaxation and soakage of the sun. Grandmom and Pop own a trailor/beach house about 1o minutes from the beach. It's an amazing little place and I sure am thankful that we can stay there and not worry about spending gobs of money at one of the local inns. Grandmom and Pop are so kind and generous. Anyway, so we were able to head to the beach every day that we were there, which was amazing! I can even proudly admit that I acquired a pretty decent tan while I was there :) Before we left for the beach, Nick, Jordan and I all ran to the library and checked out a "few" books to entertain ourselves while at the beach. I saw "few" very lightly....between the three of us, we checked out about 20 books, no joke! We take our reading very seriously. It was simply amazing, lying out in the sand, feeling the cool breeze and listening to the crashing waves. I know that sounds a little cheesy, but it's true! I love the beach! I immensely enjoyed watching McCarthy's reaction to the water and waves, he seemed to be ok with it most of the time. During a few of our nights there, we walked along the boardwalk by the beach and browsed all of the cute little shops and stands. There is such a great diversity of objects offered there and it's so much fun to window shop. Our last night at the boardwalk, Nick, Jordan and I went to Funland, which is this huge arcade. It brought me back to my childhood trips to Chuck-ee Cheese (or however you spell it). Anyway, I played a couple of games of Skee-Ball (oh how I love that game) and I won a little stuffed dog for McCarthy. I'm not going to lie, I was quite pleased with myself, for I hardly ever win anything at those things.

Needless to say, I was not really looking forward to coming back to work on tuesday, but one must make a living so I didn't really have a choice :) This week has gone by pretty fast, I can't believe tomorrow is Friday! Tomorrow after work, all of my co-workers and I are going to a local Japenese restaurant for a staff get-together and then Nick, Jordan, Mac and I are going over to a friend's house afterwards to hang out and watch movies. I'm very excited. On saturday, I'm going to turn in a few resumes, work apps., and then it's off to the birthday party of a child who's in my class. Then on sunday, it's church and then lunch with a few friends. I'm very excited for the weekend!
