Our beach vacation was…a bit rough.  Not quite the relaxing getaway that we had hoped for.  It turns out that traveling with a baby and two dogs can be a little stressful!  We also learned that sometimes craigslist pictures of vacation rentals can be a bit misleading.  Our place was…how shall I say this…quaint(?) rugged(?) without a phone line of any kind(?) cold and crawling with ants(?)  Less than desirable, to say the least.  And Kiwi pulled a muscle while playing frisbee on the first day, so she was limping the entire time.  And blind Apple didn’t really ever settle in her new surroundings.  And Lex chose to wake up every two hours, every night we were there.  Needless to say, by Friday we were ready to be home.  We left Rockaway at 7:30 am and were home by 9 =)

But on a positve note, the weather was fantastic and the beach was not crowded at all…
