Best Staycation Ever

I know we only live a few blocks from the beach, but we recently rented a beach house on the sand with some friends for a few days.  Those few days made me want to never move away from the beach and actually move even closer to the water.  Best Staycation Ever!!

It happened to work out that two of my close high school friends just happened to be planning trips to California at nearly the same time.  These plans and a couple of cocktails later, all three families were going to come together and rent a house on the sand.  Even though we were only a few miles away from home, it felt like we were 100 miles away.  It was wonderful to catch up with friends and watch our children have so much fun together.  We walked the boardwalk, took the ferry and just relaxed at the beach.  One of the days a friend of ours came down from LA and joined our relaxing chaos.  We were even able to hide out from the husbands and kids for a few hours while we all sat around a kitchen table catching up and laughing like old times.   What a wonderful few days.  I cannot wait to do it again soon!!  I don't think the husbands or kids would mind, either.  

Even the babies had fun!
