Playing in Sand and listening to the ocean!!

Just wanted you to know I am out of town this week. We are at the beach and so my blog may not be updated as often. Please bear with me. I will try to touch base when I can. I will be back full force later this week but for sure by Monday.

We arrived this afternoon so there isn't much to share yet. This was our best road trip to date. We left at 4am and I think the kids got a kick out of us waking them up and scooping them into the van. We really had very little quarrelling and the kids even asked to turn off the DVD player several times so they could look out of the window. I have expressed concern here that they would not want to do anything other than watch DVD's on road trips, if I didn't try to wean them. This time they seemed to be interested in other things too. Maybe it is there age. I am just glad they are not having problems turning off the DVD. Thank God. I do not want video junkies, so this was a HUGE relief to me. :o)

We arrived in time for the kids to get their swimsuits on and run and play on the beach. We are staying in a resort (we are on a work trip with my husband) and this is my first time, I think, staying at a resort. Maybe not - I don't know. I am disappointed a little with the room. The bathroom is tee tiny and there is NO MICROWAVE!!!! HOW CAN A HOTEL NOT HAVE A MICROWAVE IN 2007???? How am I to warm up their milk in the morning and before bed? This is sooooo inconvenient. They have also JAMMED the fridge FULL of junk to sell us. We cannot find room for the things we brought. I guess I am not used to the resort life. I like a little more room for me when I go places. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't complain since this trip is on the company. So I will grin and bear it as we walk down to the restaurant and ask them "Will you heat this cup of milk, again?". My kids have always taken warm milk. It usually has to be hotter than any restaurant wants to heat it - sometimes my peculiar children won't drink it if not warm enough. I guess this comes from breastfeeding them??? Do you breastfeeding moms have a similar issue with milk once your kids are older? Oh well, we shall have a fun time anyway 'cause WE'RE AT THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a super great week and I wish you many blessings!

Hope you have a great time. I'm sure you'll get used to resort life in no time! ;)

My daughter isn't picky about warm/cold milk (I bf for 14months). But she isn't really picky about anything. She eats everything you set in front of her and then asks for more!

Have fun at the beach! Like I always say, "a bad day at the beach is better than a good day anywhere else!"

Maybe call the concierge and see if they have a small microwave they can bring to your room during your stay. Just a thought!

Hope ya'll have fun!

As a follow up - we are having so much fun and the kids just drank cold milk. Hooray!! We will have to heat it in the morning b/c we put probiotic in their morning bottles - that always changes the taste of anything! I will update again soon.
