When my kids were little, I had my own rendition of the the gospel song, "Soon and Very Soon, We are Going to See the King”. I awakened them the morning of our beach trips loudly proclaiming (at the top of my lungs), “Soon and Very Soon, We are Going to the Beach.....Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We are Going to the Beach”.
Second verse: “No More Crying Now, We are Going to the Beach......Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We are Going to the Beach”.
This drove them absolutely nuts. They hated it. Probably because it was 5:30 am. And of course, the older they got, the more they hated it!! So, all the more reason I continued doing it!
Some days from now, we are going to Ocracoke. It will be a bit different this year. I’ve reserved 10 Cuttin Sage for 10 days because everyone has a crazy schedule this summer. Family will be coming and going throughout the 10 days. I hope there will be at least 1 or 2 days when we’re all there together, but I don’t know for sure yet. Kids grow up and start their own lives and, if you’re lucky, schedules will coincide some. (This is also sort of a spur of the moment trip. Not much planning ahead for it, so I guess I shouldn’t expect a “normal” family beach trip). My hubby is also very busy at work this summer and can’t take much time off.
My ulterior motive (yes, perhaps a bit selfish and self-centered) is for me to stay the ENTIRE 10 days at 10 Cuttin Sage. I mean, someone has to be there the whole time to welcome different family members! Since I have a very flexible schedule these days, I can get away with it!
I also want to do some blog research on Ocracoke to keep my 2 followers interested.
Anyway, since this blog is a lot about nothing today, I just wanted to let people know that I’ll be back to Ocracoke soon and I’ll have more adventures to write about.
My little gingers about 17 years ago, ready for the beach!!!
And I will be singing," Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We are Going to the Beach"!!!
