Island Retreat

Last week we went on a retreat to a nearby island. We stayed at a relaxing resort in a cottage with P and the boys. So relaxing that it didn't even have internet!! (How crazy is that!?)
The kids got a stomach bug while we were there. That was pretty unfortunate. Mel's tummy was cramping and Monkey puked yesterday on our way to dinner. But they're both fine now.
We took a ferry to get to the island. The kids really enjoyed the ride. While we were there, we took a glass bottom boat over the reef to look at the sea life. It was rocking a LOT and Mel felt sick, so we had to go up top. Monkey, surprisingly, was fine. (Thanks to the motin sickness meds from wal-mart. Those are a life saver!)
The retreat was actually a marriage retreat. But since Daddy, and P's hubby are both gone, P and I were "partners". We figured we can work on our marriages by ourselves! And why pass up a retreat just because you have to go it alone!? =)
So we're home now. All day yesterday, we cleaned the house. I got a lot done, but there is still a TON left to do. Daddy will be home in about two weeks. I can't believe he's been gone since January. It's gone by fast, thankfully. (Thanks to my friend, P!! We love ya!)
We found out that we'll me moving next summer back to the east coast!!!
