Great Day on LI

After a long journey yesterday from PA to LI (thanks to an unreliable Garmin GPS), we settled in nicely and had a great day today. We all slept late - YAY! After a lively breakfast, we headed to Lido beach. A place where I spent many days in the summer when I lived on LI.

The beach was not very crowded, which was nice, but there was some trash on the beach, which is really too bad.

The boys played in the sand, got their feet wet and had a great time. The temperature was only in the 80s so it was very comfortable. However, after lunch the boys said they were cold!!! I guess too many consecutive days of 90-100 degree temps has thinned out their blood.

The boys are having a wonderful time with their grandparents and I am feeling nostalgic of being back on LI after not being here for so long. Our boys need to know this place even if I need to fly them up here once a year to acomplish this.

My Dad and Ro have been a tremendous help and have kept them very busy. The boys keep asking if Daddy and GiGi (Gibson) are coming back. I assure them they are and that we'll see them on Saturday. I have told them that he is hiking, but I guess they want to be reassured that he is in fact coming back.

When we got back from the beach, the boys slept for 3.5 hours and I relaxed and went for a bike ride. Then, we had home made spagetti and meatballs - YUM! We all ate well!

Tomorrow, we are meeting Nana Carol for a visit to a new Flight museum, which the boys should like and it looks like I'll be able to meet up with a bunch of my high school girlfriends Thursday after missing my 25th reunion - YAY!
