The beach with it's smell,wind,tide,waves.I love it.We were going to stay from Fri to Fri,well Tuesday night rolls around and i look at A and say i will not make it til Friday as bad as i want to stay.C took a friend.I just assumed that this friend would love the beach and wouldn't be a problem.Oh was i wrong.They started fighting so bad you could hear them in the elevator,at the pool (we were on the 9th floor)I was  just awful.This boy would not stop picking at C.I would tell him to stop,A,C all of us.He would say ok then you would turn around and he would be trying to hit him again.Anyway Campbell loved her first trip to see the ocean.She just squealed I loved seeing her and her big brother having fun.The other one wanted to go home the 2nd day we were there.I truly believe he made it hell so we would bring his little ass home.So that is what we did.We left Wed morning and couldn't get home fast enough.Our first vacation in 5 yrs and i screw it up by inviting this kid...Pics on the way.Better stories too.Just thinking about him makes me ill..Angie

Awww Angie, that is so unfortunate. I'm sorry it didn't work out as you'd hoped.

Couldn't you have sent him home, then continued with your vacation? I would be pissed!

Nope.All my responsiblity..Things started going down hill when he pulled the entire plug from son's playstation 3.I guess he was just being defensive afraid we would discover what had happened.Which would have been fine if he had come to us.We found it 2 days after we got home...Live and learn..

Gosh, Angie, it's too bad that you had invited this child who made your vacation so unbearably bad! You would have had a marvelous time. It seemed as if your kids liked it a lot!
