Vacation 2009 AKA the great rain out

We took our family vacation last week and when I say there was no sun, I literally mean there was no sun. We had 3 hours of sun when we got there. We got a little sun on Wednesday and that was it. The rest of the time was spent dodging thunderstorms. We hit the New England Aquarium despite mommy getting the 24 hour bug. We made it on our whale watch, Paige and mommy got a little seasick, but good news, no one vomited on the boat. We broke down the pop up in the pouring rain, that doesn't even describe it exactly, it was pouring buckets. According to Pop Pop, that builds character, i am all set for life. Meghan and mommy on the whale watch.

Fishing: both girls caught a fish.






The girls said they had fun and that is all that matters. the highlight at the campground was Candy Bar Bingo, unfortunaely as Paige put it "we can just buy candy from the store". Needless to say no one won bingo.

So has Paige overcome her fears of thunderstorms? I bet your camper doesn't sound like tin drums when the rain hits the roof! It looks like the girls had fun - smiles in all the pictures. Sorry Mom had the 24 hour bug. We must have passed it around because I had it too.

Despite the weather and Laurie's illness, it looks like you did get to have some fun on your vacation. Dad wanted to know where the picture was of the whales you saw??
