Beach Vacation!

A couple weeks ago Jesse came home from work and said, "If we want to take a vacation, we have to go soon." Because some of his coworkers were taking vacation and we can't travel too close to my due date so that night we decided to go to the beach 2 weeks later!

When Jesse was younger his family used to go to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for vacations and he really wanted to show me around. We found a good mid-week special (June 10-14th) at the Oceanus Motel. Yes, a motel. After being spoiled rotten with the fine hotels we've stayed in the last 2 years (Garden Inn by Hilton, The Harborside Hotel, The Renaissance, and many others....the week before we left: The Omnishoram) the Oceanus left something to be desired. My nose has always been rather sensitive and being pregnant has made it EXTRA sensitive (Jesse says it could be my superpower.) Anyway, the room smelled very strongly of a mixture of smells, it was hard at first but I got used to it. The room had two full-sized beds. We're used to a queen so needless to say that with me, Jesse and Snoogle it was a bit crowded -- the first morning Jesse even went and slept on the other bed. :)

Sunday evening we went swimming in the motel pool. I felt bad because growing up Mom would never let us swim on the Sabbath but when I talked to her on the phone the next day she was like, "well, you probably weren't splashing around playing like an 8 year old." :) It was a beautiful evening for a swim. There was an elderly couple sitting at a table by the pool -- they watched us and smiled.

We also went for a romantic walk on the beach that evening. It was so lovely. I love going to the beach, something about the wind and the sound of the crashing waves relaxes me. I took my camera but guess what. I forgot to charge the battery before we left and didn't bring the charger!!! I was so upset. So, I'm sorry but we don't have any pictures of our trip.

Side note: it's 11:05 pm -- I'm sitting in the baby's room with the windows open and can hear a blasted BIRD in the park making some sort of noise. It's very annoying. At least I think it's a bird. Aghhhhhh it's driving me nuts!!!!!
