Disney & The Beach -Days 8 & 9, October 17 & 18, 2015

So, it's nearly over...

Saturday was our last day at the beach.  I was tired, having been woken up another 5 gazillion times throughout the night, so I decided I would hang close to the room, doing whatever it is I do.  Kaitlyn was bound and determined to come home tanned, so she spent the day at the pool.  Normally, this is a good thing, but she didn't stay hydrated and was drinking.  She got very sick at one point, nearly passing out.  Cold compress to the head, a bottle of water and a nice nap and she was all better.  She wanted to go lay out some more, but was helped to decide that wasn't the best option.

I did walk down to Walgreen's to get water and beer.  Made mimosas with moscato instead of champagne for Kaitlyn.  I was going to drink some, but forgot.  I just wasn't really in the mood.  It's not a long walk to Walgreen's but it felt like miles walking back with 2 6-packs of water and 2 18-packs of Bud Light.  I had asked Greg if he wanted to go and he said he did.  I waited an hour for him to get ready and he never did.  Then he had the audacity to get pissed when I said I'd go alone.  Seriously???  When I asked him, I was ready to leave.  I waited 60 minutes for him to get ready...and HE's pissed???

Can you tell this vacation contained a lot of bickering?  Mostly over what I wanted vs. what Greg felt like doing.  He is the easiest and the most difficult of traveling companions.  Not willing to offer an opinion of activities but annoyed when I don't magically pull his desires out of the hat.  Whatever, it's done.

We got the big suitcases in the car Saturday night.  I went to bed last (yeah I am the driver) and didn't sleep well.

Sunday morning, my alarm went off at 5:15.  I set it early so I could hit the snooze a few times.  Apparently, Greg doesn't understand the snooze button and as soon as he heard my alarm, he started banging crap around in the kitchen.  ARGH.  So up I got, to get dressed, finish packing and loaded the car.  I woke up the girl about 15 minutes prior to departure.  She loaded her stuff and off we went.  Stopped a bit before Ocala to get breakfast at McD's.  And motored on.

The drive was mostly uneventful.  I was having issues with sleepiness (probably because I hadn't had a good night's sleep most of the week).  So we stopped about every hour or so.  Traffic around Atlanta was snarled in a few places, mostly because there are SOOO many cars and sooo many stupid drivers.  Same thing goes for Chattanooga.  It took a little longer than anticipated to get home, but we dropped Kaitlyn off at her house and came home.

Nick had installed a Nest Thermostat yesterday (all by himself, I'm so proud!).  We chatted with him for a while, the dog attacked me.  I sorted through the mail and then went to bed.

Luckily, I'm off for the next 2 days, so I can get everything unloaded and put away.  I have my laundry from before we left to do, phone calls to make, errands to run.

Anyway, it's been fun!  Hope you enjoyed reading!
