1) If you are forced to take your injured cat with you, do not let her loose in the car no matter how good she is, because she will inevitably relieve herself on the seat, making for a nauseating rest of the trip...
2) If you bring along a friend, no matter how wonderful he is, you are not allowed to yell or scream at your kids, which makes for a lot of built up frustration. It is hard to be June Cleaver or Clare Huxtable for a whole week.
3) Workout goals are tough to achieve at the beach. Day one, I swam laps and went to the workout room. Day two, I worked out, but did not swim laps. Day 3, I went for a long walk. Day 4, I sat on the couch and ate half a bag of kettle chips while watching a movie...
4) If you search for crabs at night with the Little One, wear ear plugs...
5) If you tell The Boy and his friend to be sure and hang up their suits and towels everyday, don't expect it to happen. You will find this out when the overwhelming smell of mildew wafts from their room on Day 3.
6) Don't try to play whiffle ball on the beach 4 days in a row if you expect to be able to walk on Day 5...
7) If you make pancakes for breakfast on the first day...they will be expected every day...you won't be able to get by with toast and cereal...
8) Don't even think about going home with all clean clothes...remember, you have two 12 year old boys along...
9) Any hygiene issues that arise with a 12 year old boys are doubled with a friend along....along with the various sounds and smells that also accompany them...
10) Collecting sea shells with Little One never gets old...
