How I spent my summer vacation: At the beach.

We didn’t travel to Europe or the Grand Canyon or the Galapagos Islands this summer. We didn’t even make it as far as Montreal. But we did get to spend a bit of time shuffling around as a family for pretty much the first time ever. This is the first year since 2006 in which we haven’t had a baby, moved house or written a book, so we were able to use at least a couple vacation days actually, er, vacationing. I know!

And while I’d be quite happy to never again have another baby or move house, there is a little beach-side cottage at Crystal Beach that I can totally see writing a book in. Well, I could if my children ever learn to swim and I no longer have to hover over them in knee-deep water. Also, if the beach cottage is air conditioned which it probably isn’t.
