Dozeman/Griswold Vacation Day 5
Today we took it easy and slept in. After a crazy day at
Disney, we were exhausted. Everyone enjoyed a few extra hours of sleep. After
we were well rested, we decided to head to the beach.
Aimee has never been and
of course, we have to go to the beach so she can see if first hand!
We chose Daytona Beach and the day was about the best we could
hope for under the circumstances. It was super windy and chilly, but the water
was swimmable. Maybe 68 degrees or so. Not freezing, but not exactly warm
either. The kids just jumped in, but the adults were a little more cautious. I
was no thrilled to go in at all. Cold water is not my cup of tea.
We had a lot of fun looking for shells, dancing in the
waves, playing in the sand and enjoying the weather for about an hour. That was
all we could take of the cold water. Then we left and on our way out, we
stopped for ice cream. The kids were so cold, they were actually shaking while
they ate their ice cream! I would feel bad, but they wanted that ice cream bad
enough they ate them like little addicts for sugar.
After ice cream, we headed back to the car and headed home.
The drive home was slow going. So slow in fact it was almost frustrating. We hit
rush hour traffic through Orlando and traffic jams throughout. It was almost twice
as long to get home as to get there. Stop and go, stop and go. By the time we
got home, we were all exhausted again.
Once the kids were in bed and settled down, Mike and I enjoyed
the hot tub for awhile. It was nice to sit in a warm tub of water and just
relax after a stressful few hours of driving! Aimee brought monitors so we can
hear whether or not the kids are stirring and that helps a lot.
Rich and Aimee would have joined us in the hot tub but they had
to pack and get ready to go home in the morning. They have to get back for
Christmas and work. We’ve had so much fun with them we’re really going to be sad
to see them go. It’s been a fun Dozeman/Griswold vacation! I’m not sure what we’re
going to do when it’s just a Dozeman vacation =(
