A Little Vacation

We aren't the kind of family that has a new vacation spot each summer. Our "getaway" is a place northwest of us about 2 hours or so. We built a home on a golf course and share it with 2 other families which relieves the guilt of not being there every weekend and helps to split the cost :)

The big green van left first on Monday, carrying all Males in the family plus 2 extras....oh yes, Bella the female dog went with them. Anna and I followed about a half hour later because we were making a stop at the outlet mall to visit the American Girl Doll outlet....

Some friends came up to vacation with us. While their Dad was traveling for work, my friend brought her two boys up to hang with us for a few days.

The boys played lots of card games in the sunroom....
We had LOTS of fort building...an obsession, you might say....
and lots of swimming in the pool....not the lake, thankyouverymuch.
hitting some golf balls.....
and when our cable tv didn't carry the most important baseball game...there was lots of checking of the blackberry to get the score......(John and Mrs. W)
oh yes, the little girl had a good time too....don't you worry.....

Like Andrew said as we pulled into the driveway......."This is the best part of the trip... coming back home." I agree...... It is nice to be away, but there's no place like home...... Jill
