Saturday---spent day getting ready--driving down--checking in to hotel--going to party (a goodbye party for DS's DW--she has been transferred to Shephard AFBase in Texas)

Sunday--woke up to a dead battery--DS jumped us--drove to Rehobeth--stopped for bkfst/lunch (eggs-ham-sausage gravy over bisquits)that took 3 hours--spent an hour finding a parking space--got on beach at 4pm--too late for swimming--cold wind cloudy sky--walked the boardwalk--went back to car at 7:30--another dead battery--DS jumped us again--drove to DS house--had a roast beef dinner.

Monday--raining--spent day watching Law and Order marathon--had omelette for bkfst/lunch--had peene with meat sauce for dinner

Tuesday--rain on and off all day--went to flea market/farmers market--walked around for 3 hours--bought 2 pair cufflinks ($1 each) and a tee shirt with a Bichon on it--and a locally smoked whole ham (had them slice it) and locally smoked kielbasi--and a bacon press--had a sub for lunch--Lots of Blue crab with old bay--silver queen corn and watermellon for dinner and watched the 2nd LOTR

Wednesday---rain again--went to farewell party at Dover AFBase for DSs DW--went shopping for a coin stand for all of her award coins--back to their house for a chicken/cole slaw/mashies dinner--watched 'Daredevil'

Thursday--packed up--went to DSs house to say goodbye and pick up meat from their fridge--drove home--vac-packed the meat and put in freezer--

AND STARTED GETTING RID OF DOTS!!!!!!!!!LOL

That was my holiday--I was on Pacific time the whole time--going to bed at 1am-2am and getting up at 9 am(that is of course 10-11pm PDT and 6am PDT).This is the third year in a row it has rained on my Labor Day vacation--I give up!!!!!!!!

I stuck pretty well with my water--but no special exercise!!!!!

Did get to relax however--

Now my 'no no' foods--5 donuts during the week--2 mint chocolate chip milkshakes--2 hamburgs--1 small curly fries--2 cinnamon sticks from Cinnabon--

Not exciting but fun being with the kids!!!!

Aww Barb on all that rain! I had heard from an old boardie that DE sure has had the rain this year! Whew, I'm sure glad you had your ds able to jump start your car. Will you be getting a new battery?

As you say, the fun part was seeing your ds and being with him. It also does sound like you got a little rest and some recreation too.

****DE sure has had the rain this year! ***

Oh yes--some of the farmers couldn't even plant the ground was so saturated

We couldn't play badmitten either cause DSs back yard was almost a pond

***Will you be getting a new battery?

No--it seems fine now -- we think it was caused by the interior lights (they stayed on all night)and the drive to rehobeth wasn't enough of a drive to charge it completely!!! Ah well we will keep watch

Got lots of rest--and a whole day of L&O was neat
