A few more from our last hotel -  king size hotel room beds provide lots of room for reading snuggles!

[Life with big brothers and sisters has it's perks - and a few downsides, to be sure, but I'm confident the perks far outweigh the other.]

And, yay for e-readers!  We normally stick to paper books but on the road it's just not practical (that's two kindles and one iPad in the pic).

Our drive to the beach was long and arduous and traffic-y and longer than we hoped.  But NO ONE puked!  And the whining was moderate and the drive was WORTH IT!  I'm unofficially collecting pics of the 5 and this is a new one for the collection.  (living room of our bungalow, drinking cold water from the fridge after a hot unloading of the vehicle)

Now after a few days here we are in solid vacation mode.  I have nothing to do!  Our spot is so sweet and our kids roam free with little need for supervision (unless they are in the pool, or waves, of course).

Matt's engineering skills hard at work on the beach - perfect late afternoon activity :).

I'm only turning my computer on about once a week, so it might be a bit til I'm updating again.
