July 22 - Time to go home
It was really raining while we packed up the cars but it stopped for a few minutes as we were leaving for a picture in front of the house.



The trip home was pretty much a full day affair. The drive back to Philadelphia was about 2 hours. We followed Amanda and Olivia and had lunch with them before we went to the airport. Because of the storms in Philadelphia, our flight was delayed a bit. Abby was wonderful the whole trip. She is such a great traveler. The only problem we had was that Abby is very afraid of bathrooms that are auto flush. Unfortunately every one we tried that day was auto flush. UGH!! I finally remembered a trick I read somewhere that if you put a little toilet tissue over the sensor thing, it won't flush. Fortunately this worked but it took a LOT of convincing Abby that it really wouldn't flush. We arrived home around 10:00 that night.

Our vacation was so much fun and we are already ready for the next one. :-)

July 21 - Ocean City Day 7
Our last full day in Ocean City. We started the day with breakfast out at a great little breakfast kind of place and then found ourselves at a pirate themed miniature golf course. Aside from making the mistake of paying for myself (I wound up just helping Abby) and not being able to get money back even though I realized the mistake about 22 seconds after I paid, we had a wonderful time.



Watch out Tiger Woods!



18 holes with 3 year olds goes pretty fast. :-) Step 1 - hit the ball. Step 2 - Keep hitting the ball. Step 3 - If necessary pick up the ball and drop it in the hole. Step 4 - Proceed to next hole. Special exception - if any holes have scary tunnels, just skip them.



They each got a pirate eye patch after the last hole. I bet the winner in Augusta would much prefer an eye patch to the green jacket.



After dinner out, we went to the beach for our last night. Amanda had brought kites for the kids and they were both dancing and singing about kites before we even got to the beach.



First time flying a kite!! She did great!



One last night of sand castle building and general sand playing.



I love the beach!!!!



Hey - where are our feet?



They are going to miss each other so much.
