Tuesday was spent trying to get back into the routine of things. It was difficult adjusting back to babies. My Allen missed me so much. Jerimiah stayed home sick with his plague as Meredith started to show signs of it too.
Wednesday was a packing day. I packed and Natalie packed. We literally spent an entire day packing for the beach trip. Nothing else got done but packing and the house was left in a terrible mess afterwards.
Thursday we drove down to Emerald Isle. On the way both Natalie and I had to stop to throw up. We think it was the BBQ sandwiches we had right before the drive. We got down there about 4/5 pm. The house we stayed in had an amazing layout for our family, but was severely run down. The stove didn't work and the fridge smelled so bad of fish that it leaked into the girls milk. We had to go out late and get stuff to try and fix it. They offered to deliver a new stove the day AFTER we left. Blinds were torn down and in the floor. It was no where near as nice as other places we have stayed.
Friday morning we just stayed around the house. After lunch we took the girls out onto the beach while Allen was napping. I went back in to pump just as Allen was waking up. After I pumped I went out onto the beach with him. It was amazing swimming with him in the ocean he got so excited over every single wave. We finished up and I showered to go out and buy food for dinner.
Saturday morning was another show morning. Me and Jerimiah took care of the girls while everyone else was napping or on the beach. Natalie came up at 1 so me and Jerimiah could grab lunch out together and do a boat tour. Unfortunately the normal 15 minute drive took over an hour so we only had time to grab a very quick lunch and get back to get everyone for dinner. We got back and everyone all got ready to go as we were informed that the girls shouldn't go because they were over stimulated. So we stayed home and packed and cleaned up.
Sunday we got up early and finished packing and cleaning. The ride home was long and exhausting. It took 4 hours to drive the normal 2. We got home and it took hours to get everything into the house and days to get it all unpacked.
Monday morning we just hung around the house and unpacked. Natalie was still feeling tired and sick. The girls were super cranky as they tried to adjust back to having less people to hold them and care for them.
