And we're back

Actually, we got back a few hours ago, but there's been too much to do to read blogs much, let alone write anything.

A wonderful time, punctuated occasionally by children whining, but only occasionally. The weather behaved beautifully except for one whole day and one evening. Sadly, the evening was our last evening there, and so I didn't get the pictures I was aiming for of the full moon through sea oats. Oh well --- that just means that we have to go back again and again.

Highlights of the trip?
- How well behaved the children all were, by and large --- absolutely marvelous behaviour from all three of them, considering. Especially during the five hour car trips there and back.
- Kayaking up the inlets, watching birds and collecting shells
- Bobbing like a cork, in water deeper than I am tall (I didn't have to go out far!)
- Baking bread again: for the first time in months, it seems, I got back down to bread making.

Pictures to follow, perhaps.

Yours, exhausted, and in need of another holiday (due date: May, perhaps, or August 2009),
N.
