I doubt I've ever been so glad to get home. We just spent the past week in Cape Cod; our family's first-ever vacation. We stayed in a cottage (funny word for a house bigger than our apartment) in Woods Hole with DH's mom and her dog. The cottage had no AC and was alive with mold spores. This particular Jewish princess was not amused.
I need a little distance from the past week, but I'll share a few highlights:
1. Jacob and Danny shouting "Under the bridge!" gleefully every time we drove, well, you know.
2. Driving that big-ass, comfy-as-hell rental Explorer for a week. I don't care if it makes me a yuppie scumbag, but I loved it.
3. Eating lobster, clams and mussels with drawn butter.
4. Jacob tasting one of DH's salt & vinegar potato chips and announcing "it tastes like it feels like hurting." And then asking for more.
5. Jacob leaning over the toilet in a public restroom, holding up the toilet seat with one hand and steadying himself with the other, and letting out a huge sigh of relief as he peed.
6. Danny leaning over to give me kisses while he ate lunch.
I know some of you are waiting for more Cabrini stuff, so let me get some work done and I'll get back to the story. I promise.
