Vacation Success!

- Pediatricians Saturday morning: check.
- Ferry by 2:00 that afternoon: check.
- Camping in a tent with three kids under 4 in (lots of) rain and shine: check.
- Outhouse: check.
- Beachcombing for shells, glass, baby rock crab: check. (Collin's "heaven on earth" is Pebble Beach.)
- Digging a tunnel to China: attempted (check).
- Having quality 1:1 time with my kids: check.
- Spending quality 1:1 time with my hubby: check.
- Running (almost) daily runs with the kids in the jogger (who, to my delight, fought for their "turns" in the buggy; Kate got to go every time in case I detoured on a beach too long and needed to feed her): check.
- Finishing a novel I started over a month ago: check (ok, finished it tonight after the kids went to sleep; only read 6 pages on the vacation.)
- And the last on my "vacation goal" list was to lose 1 pound AND STILL eat and drink to my heart's content (hence, the running goal): CHECK! ... I lost 2.2 pounds and ate a whole package of Nutter Butters in two days! : )

Now it's back to reality ...
