ahhh, to kick back and have some time with the kids ... a very nice break from the routine, and from the events of recent months. both jane and i are really, really relaxed, having enjoyed a non-stressful week in south miami, filled with comfort, fine weather, great food, and time. no pressures, no need to get up, get going, or get anywhere quickly or on time.
last evening we enjoy an early and quick dinner - the kids are relieved, not having to 'dress up' in jeans and t-shirts ... ugghhhh! actually, they've been great this week - very funny, very at ease (sleeping until all hours, running around in bathing suits, reading, etc..). there's been no shopping, and miraculously, no tv (despite the availability) ... just outdoor time together, quite heavenly. fruit, salads, smoothies, obligatory wine (jane and i) - just perfect. lots of laughter (mostly at jane's expense!) too. that girl!
we also catch baby mama, the new flick featuring most of the cast of saturday night live. the theater is filled to the brim with 15 year olds, and our own teens are delighted at the prospect. what i find more interesting is that, despite their independent natures, they are still happy to go to the movies with us on a friday night (and not feel horrified at the prospect!). it's kind of nice that we can all share a few common interests at this point in their lives.
vacation draws to a close on sunday ... a stop in atlanta to see john and hope and gang, then into nyc to see robbin and larry, then home for a chametz dessert with ro and mitch - long but fun day!
