Writing this on my phone, from Chincoteague Island. Oh my gosh, you guys, I am so happy right now.

We haven't been to the beach yet. Colin fell asleep about twenty minutes before we arrived. We're letting him nap while Michael buys groceries and we eat lunch. That would've been a hard sell for Alex, except that the motel office had videos for loan. She's always wanted to see Pocahontas, so she is happy as the proverbial clam.

This place is so nice! We have a mini townhouse: downstairs, a full kitchen equipped with dishes and cooking gear, a sitting area, and bath. Upstairs, two tiny bedrooms and bath. They put a crib and highchair in our unit before we arrived. We have a picnic table and grill, and a shared porch. There's an indoor pool and hot tub.

In a little while we'll head out to the National Seashore, and that will be wonderful and exciting. But right now I am already so relaxed and peaceful and happy.

It's a beautiful place. Here's hoping it continues as it has begun, and you have a wonderful time.

I am so happy that you are happy. SO HAPPY.

My best vacations have been to places with kitchens. It's such a relief to (A) eat out only when you want to (B) have an easy way to keep snacks (and possibly alcohol) on hand.

Have a gin and tonic overlooking the sea for me.

Oh yeah. With a toddler, a kitchen is a godsend. Colin isn't much fun in restaurants.

We have a lovely bottle of wine waiting for tonight.

Yay! I'm glad your vacation has started out so well.

I can't think of anyone more deserving of such happiness right now!
