We took a mini-vacation to my cousinapos;s home by the Jersey shore.� The beach is a nice benefit, but I go for the sense of family I feel when Iapos;m there.� It may be weird to some, but I donapos;t have that cozy sense of home when I visit with my parents.� I did have that with my grandparents but they have been gone eight years.� My psyche needs that to feel at peace.� They welcomed us into their home and it was as if we didnapos;t skip a beat since we were there in July.�
Saturday was a trip to Borders, because they love books as much as us.� Kim and I went for a girlsapos; night out at Applebees while our men watched some strange guy type movies.� Sunday was a relaxing day on the boardwalk and the beach.� The place to go for pizza there is Mack and Mancoapos;s.� A winter and summer experience there is so different.� In winter youapos;re treated like a customer, in summer you are one of a herd of cattle and theyapos;ve got to get you in and out because of the long line to get in.� The problem is, I hope they donapos;t expect the same kind of tip.� The pizza is very good and the only thing that makes it different from other pizza is the amount of cheddar in it.� Please correct me if Iapos;m wrong, Iapos;d love to hear if youapos;ve tried it and what you thought.
When we visited during the summer, I was a thrifty spender.� I could foresee the sales signs in the fall and couldnapos;t stand the thought of paying full price.� My patience payed off when my favorite store had everything for 20 off.� I found great snow globes for the kids for 70 off.� The kids had fun putting their feet (and at times their knees) in the water.� It ended too soon.�
...or did it?� As weapos;re a half hour from home, I realize we forgot Julian backpack at their house.� If he was in a younger grade it wouldnapos;t have been a big deal.� I couldnapos;t take the chance that his teacher might not be sympathetic about it.� We called Kim and she had her husband Tim start driving and see if we could meet up.� Thankfully he met up with us at the Vineland exit which shaved 30 minutes off the trip.� Thank you Tim� The children slept most of the time we drove.� Julio could have been mad at me for those extra hours in the car, but he shrugged it off and we had a blast.� We began recalling topics of conversation we had when passing certain landmarks the first time and turned it into a game.� We tried repeating our conversations word for word.� Sometimes, I would�voice what he had said and vice versa.� It was a good mental exercise and a marital one too.� It showed we were really listening to what the other was saying.� It was a lot of fun and I recommend it.�
Thatapos;s my weekend story.� Iapos;m very surprised Iapos;m not comatose in bed right now from exhaustion from helping my brother move today.��Iapos;m going to work on that right now...
