We're definitely not a two week vacation family. We could become one if money permitted, but we'd probably have that bumpy day in the middle of the two weeks, like the one that we always have at the end of extended time together. Yesterday, everyone was a bit grumpy. I guess, we all tried to cram the end of vacation into one day. (Kind of doing that again today, but hopefully, yesterday was the hard day.) At least two of us ended up in tears at one point, maybe there were more, but I only know of two. There was a bit of exhaustion and snapping at one another involved. I hate to say it, but golf was taken out of the equation today, which will most likely help, over all, but there is one Papa who might be in tears.
We moved out of our very own place this morning, and will share with Donna and James for the last day and night. That was sort of a bummer to say goodbye to my favorite condo here. The pool over there is better, and less crowded. We had a huge thunderstorm last night, which was quite amazing to watch, but I still sense the stress in my daughters when the weather turns bad. Addie said she had heard a man on the beach say that a hurricane was coming. I assured her that we would be long gone before a hurricane hit, and that Hilton Head is rarely hit full on by hurricanes. We watched the weather, and I showed them how far away any tropical storms were. Honestly, though, I was just glad we were on the second floor, and that we didn't own that condo. The sun is out today, and we are all enjoying our last day!
Now for good news from Nashville: We passed the framing inspection, and dry-wall can begin on Monday! Of course, with progress, there must be another payment made. Hopefully I can swing this one! It is nice to have good news to come home to. It will be hard to leave this island shaped like a tennis shoe. It would be even harder if it were shaped like a flip-flop!
