Today was the Annual Camp 18 Cruise. Except this year its been renamed the Cross haul Cruise, and instead of camp 18 we stopped at Oneys. Long story short Camp 18's owners are jerks.
Because Mike was sick Sunday and Monday he had to work and wasn't able to go. This is the first year since the cruise was started that he couldn't attend. Madi had been feeling pretty awful the two days leading up to the cruise, So I figured the most her and I could do was to meet everyone at the starting point (the VW credit center) and make a game time decision about weather or not we would go.
Madilyn hadnt been napping, mostly because her nose was so stuffy it was hard for her to get comfortable. But when I headed out for the credit center that morning she fell right asleep. When we got there I put her in the carrier and walked around. She always does so much better out than she does at home. I decided to go on the drive to Oneys. I still didn't know about the whole trip to to the beach though.
At Oneys Madi was out of the carrier and a few good friends held her. She was happier than I had seen her in days! So we headed to the beach. She took a nice long nap in the car on the way there.
Once there I visted with friends in their various hotel rooms/ beach houses. Then I took a walk on the beach with Jen, Michelle, Heather and Kira. I had been wanting to go to the beach for months and was so happy to be there. It had rained on the drive, but it stopped in time for our little beach excursion. I bundled Madi up tight. She seemed to be soothed by the ocean sounds. She peered out at the ocean from her carrier.
After several years of staying the night after the cruise (even when I was pregnant) It was really hard to leave. Even so I knew we had to. Mike was waiting back home and it was starting to get dark. So we reluctantly headed home. Madi sept the whole way. It was a nice relaxing drive (thanks to mike letting me take the GTI).
All in all it was a good trip and a nice day at the beach.
