I asked Paul what he liked best about our beach vacation to Seabrook. Was it the borrowed pup? The s'mores? Walking on the beach at sunset?

Playing musical chairs and tag at the park, he said. All four of us together.

Well sheesh, we could have done that IN OUR HOUSE minus the 6-hour drive and $$$ rental cottage. I guess what every kid really wants is some undivided attention from both parents. We just had to drive to the beach to get away from the distractions at home.
