Last night at 11:30 I looked at my husband and said "I want to go to the beach tomorrow." He informed me this morning that it sounded very evil and demanding the way I said it, but nonetheless he got up ths morning and announced we were heading to the beach! What a surprise! :)(Lucky for me I am married to a wonderful man)
After 7 weeks of fun-fun-fun, Luke heads back to work on Monday. The boys still have another 3 weeks until school starts but this feels like summer is officially over. I wanted to go somewhere and play! And play we did! Luke took us to Santa Monica and we spent the afternoon playing in the waves and walking down to the pier. The weather was perfect, so we couldn't have asked for a better day. We could have done without the lunch we had at "Bubba Gump's Shrimp something or other..." but we survived. We even made a trip to my "mecca"....(Nordstrom's Rack) in LA on our way home. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get to shop for myself on this trip since its school shopping season. Lucky boys!
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
