We only had one vacation-she says

Last night during supper, Middle J says, "We only had 1 vacation this summer." Remember this is my party planner/agenda setting queen. I reminded her it was summer vacation and going to VA beach was only part of the vacation. I reminded her we have:
1. Gone to a Nats baseball game
2. Yes-we went to VA beach for 3 days
3. Visited one of the oldest lighthouses in the U.S. (and climbed a gazillion stairs)
3. Went to the Air/Space Museum-saw a space shuttle and @ least 100 actual airplanes/jets in the museum.
4. Joined the Nat'l zoo and have gone once so far
5. Toured the Pentagon with her daddy
6. Have gone mini-golfing 2x
7. Have gone bowling 2x (one time it was glow in the dark!)
8. Went swimming an average of 3-4x/week.
9. Went to dunkin donuts nearly every Tuesday with our friends
10.Went to the Smithsonium Museum of Art and portraits
11.Toured the national mall and visited all of the monuments (we have done this several times already)
12.Went to National Harbor-looked at the amazing boats and the water.
13.Had countless playdates, pooldates, lunchdates with friends.
14.Had mommy and me and daddy and me special dates.
15.Grandpa and Grandma came to visit for a week.

I don't want to count some of these as vacation. The special dates are priceless and the Js absolutely love them. Playdates..well we have them all the time; but they can be exhausting unless I can "farm" out the big kids :) All of it was so fun! We had a memorable summer, now on to the crazy school year.

Soccer practice starts tomorrow. I am still trying to figure out carpools, because there is no way I can get everyone to practice and games. Sam should be able to help a lot, but you know how that can go! School lists come out tomorrow, open house is Wednesday, and school starts Tuesday. I wonder what Middle J will try to put on the agenda for this long weekend?? :)

16.I know there are some other things, but I just got a call for playdate for little J and now I am planning the rest of the day.......sigh :) First stop-dunkin donuts-sugar for the Js, me-"coffe now please!".
