What is it about the beach that renews us and recharges us? Does the sound of the ocean awaken some primordial, instinctive pleasure? We’d start the day with a leisurely breakfast and then head to the beach for a few hours until lunch beckoned. After a nice long nap we’d wake and stumble into town for a little browsing, dinner and then home to crash. It was a week of warm sun, frozen drinks, sand castles, and toy boats. It was heaven.
I love the rich dessert of Rehoboth with the giddy kids, the grandparents and the gays as the icing on top. That’s a terrible mess of a metaphor. Eh. Whatever. I’ll let it sit there.
We came home to catch up on all our bad tv. We are addicted to So You Think You Can Dance and Top Chef. I hope I’m not losing some valuable thinking um part of the brain as I spend more time in children’s literature and constant vigilance.
The vacation was a nice recharge and I need to figure out some way to hold onto that relaxed state even as E drives me insane. I was worried how it all might go a week together with no breaks but it was great, no problems. Relaxed and on the beach even L was talking about E2.
It’s amazing what a margarita and a little sun can do.

About Me
- Daddy Cool
- Just your average gay dad trying to figure out this whole life, work, love, family thing. Really it's all in the blog... or well, a close proximity. Actually, it's all so complex can we really even begin to sum up our lives in these little missives. It's all fake. It's random. Who are you? Why am I here? Somebody pour me another drink. Husband, Father, and more.
You've always been my favorite

I think it is the naps at the beach that do the recharging (for me anyway)
What a great week it seems to have been, dear Brian!
How couldn't E drive you insane?! Would he still be a child if he didn't? I believe that's the best of it all!
Hugs! :-)
I couldn't have said it better! Our little beach holiday was also a time of renewal and complete "letting go", despite the fact that you obviously had much better weather than we did.
E2, eh? That's awesome. Twice the insanity, and twice the joy.
I'm so glad that you all had a wonderful time! :)
Ah yes...
so glad you're back safe and sound.
Hugs
