This year we didn't know what to do about summer vacation. We were supposed to meet Melissa somewhere with the boys. We were thinking of Virginia and going to Bush Gardens. However with covid we knew we couldn't do it. Then we decided we would go down and see them. We knew we would drive. We also knew if we had to cancel it would be fine.
On Saturday, we and looked for Geocaching. We went to a park and looked for it for a while. We finally gave up. Then we came home and the kids swam. We were going to have a movie outside but it started raining. They wanted Scoob inside.
On Sunday, we went back and found the Geocach we couldn't find. The guy that hid it called Melisa after she reached out to him. Then we went and looked for it. Then we relaxed at the house. THe kids played Minecraft for a bit too. It has been a relaxing trip so far.
On Monday and Tuesday, we hung out a Melissa's house. We did some swimming. The weather wasn't the best. It was cool and raining. The kids went on a bike ride. We continued to do some geocatching.
On Wednesday, we went on a kayaking tour. It was fun. We met at the dock. Then we kayaked to an island. It was a 30-45 minute kayak ride. I was the slowest. At the island, the kids played in the water. They also played in the sand dunes. After about an hour on the island, we kayaked back. Once we got back, Brian, Melissa and Austin placed a geocach. They submitted for approval. It was approved a day later.
Our last day there was Thursday, we went to the beach after Austin's reading class. Austin has been doing an online reading class once a week. It's been good for him. At the beach, we played in the water. Brian helped the kids make a "pool" with a shower curtain. They played on the boogie boards. It was a fun several hours on the beach.
We drove home on Friday. We left at 5am and got home at 3:15pm. We only stopped for gas and restroom break. We picked up Subway for dinner after we got home. It was great to get away but so nice to be home too.
