Black Ops

Today is the last full day of our beach vacation. I broke down and decided to go to the skillet house for breakfast. They don't have any bread there. They only serve crepes. We all ordered omlets. They were huge.

After breakfast we headed to our usual boardwalk. We rented Little Kat one of those low riding bikes. He went off riding by himself. Momoko and I sat on a bench while he rode. Then we did some shopping. Momoko bought Little Kat a Call of Duty "Black Ops" sweatshirt. We got lunch at a restaurant named after Little Kat.

Back at the hotel, Momoko went with Little Kat for swimming in the indoor poor. Then I went with him to ice skate. He could not lace his boots tight enough. I had to do it for him. Fail. He tried skating for a while. But he was unable to display the mad skills that Kit Kat says he had.

Right now Momoko and Little Kat are playing out on a cold beach. I am sure they will warm up later when we go to dinner. Oh yeah. I used a coupon to help buy a big snow globe in the hotel gift shop. That one is for the memories.

Vacation Begins

Yesterday I woke up. There was one thing to do before leaving for vacation. I had to do a load of laundry. I figured this would work fine, as I do laudry every Sunday. Little Kat somehow woke up earlier and started his own load of laundry. He is supposed to do that on Friday and Saturday every week. This put us an hour or so behind schedule.

We made some of the time up on the road. There was a scheduled spot at a Sonic drive in about an hour from the beach. It was a little out of the way. Before we got there, Momomoko spotted a Sonic right on the road we were driving. We were hungry and chowed down.

An hour or so later we arrived at the beach. The room was good. Momoko and I both had our own beds. Little Kat had a surprise fold out couch. We turned the air conditioning on. But the room kept getting hotter. It turns out that they only have heat in this season. We had to get a fan and open the slider to the patio. Little Kat wanted to go to the pool immediately. Instead we ended up going to dinner and dessert. The vacation begins.

Labor Day Plans

One guy that works on my project has a beach vacation house. He used to joke around that we should come by some time and check it out. I did not give it any mind. However another dude at work said he wanted to go.

So we made plans to drive to the beach on Labor Day. Told the family I would be going to the beach without them. This was a boys night out only. Then the guy who wanted to go found out some family is visiting him for Labor Day. Therefore he bumped our trip. Bummer.

Now I am free for Labor Day Weekend. Maybe I can get the family out into the yard to do some work with me. Yeah that does not sound fun. But it will help me.

On Vacation

Today was my last day at work before my vacation. I get off a week before Momoko and the kids. I don't think there will be a lot of lounging around. There are too many things to do around the house.

I first plan to work on the fence that is falling apart. Got to cut and nail some new pickets on there. Then I must deal with the wall paper peeling off the bathroom wall.

By the time I wrap up my work on the house, it will be time to take a small trip to the beach with the family. Momoko is taking off the last day of school so we can spend it at the beach.

Change of Plans

Momoko wanted us to go to the beach this summer. We have been busy with work and school. However my vacation is slowly approaching. I tried to find a spot where we could rent a condo on the beach. It seems the best spot for such condo rentals is far away. Then I looked into airline tickets to fly to the beach. But there were no non-stop flights there. The fates have conspired against us.

This week Momoko decided that we should instead go gambling this summer. Last time we went, I got sick so we could not enjoy the trip as much. Now we plan to hit the slot machines. And luckily there is a Sonic restaurant near by. You don't know how important Sonic is until you find yourself in a land where they don't have sonic. Casino reservations have been made. Off we go as soon as school is up.
