We just got back from vacation. With our kids.  And it was fabulous.

No - I’m completely serious.  But, let me back up.

We went to spend a week on a beach on the east coast with our close friends from residency.  They had rented a house and we skirted in on their coat tails.  The house we stayed in was perfect with enough room for the two couples plus 5 kids under 5 to all have their own space.  Bonus was the huge back yard, the swimming pool, the tree swing and the grill – basically all anyone could want for a summer vacation.  Not to mention that the beach was amazing and just a quick car ride away.
