My husband is back to work today after having an entire week off. It was nice having him home and it was sad to see him off this morning. He spent most of the week rebuilding a new deck in our backyard. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears ... and sun burn ... but so far it looks wonderful. I love it! It's far from finished but I'm very happy with what he has done already. I definitely want to show some before and after pictures once it's all complete but this project is costing more than anticipated so it's going to take a little more time. I'm so happy that we've finally had a chance to move forward with some of the work that needs done to this house. We had a new roof put on a few months ago and now the back deck. I've also been slowly working on the flower beds and making the landscaping look nice. I have so many great ideas ... only wish I could afford to do what I want. In time. It costs so much owning and maintaining a home, doesn't it? We'll get there.
During his vacation we did get a chance to visit a beach. The disadvantage with living in Pennsylvania is we don't have any beaches. Rivers and lakes, yes. But no real beaches. We wanted to take the kids to a beach that was close enough to be a day trip. Rob found one in Maryland right off of the Chesapeake Bay. It was smaller than other beaches I've been to (hey, I was once a Long Island girl. I'm spoiled when it comes to beaches) but it was very nice. The kids LOVED it. They weren't afraid of the water, collected sea shells, played in the sand and had a fun time. Brianna still hasn't stopped saying, "I wanna go beach. I wanna go beach." She loved it so much and didn't want to leave. In fact, it was a nightmare trying to get her in the car when we decided to leave.
So we'll give this beach two thumbs up. Sandy Point State Park.
Well, I need to spend the day catching up on housework and getting back into my exercise routine. I started to slack off while hubby was home. No excuse!
