Shannon over at Picture Imperfect tagged me write about my perfect day and Shannon was inspired by Capital Mom. I have thought about what my perfect day would entail and I have a few scenarios that keep running through my head. There is the absolute perfect day that would only be possible if I had a lot more money than I do now and there is the realistic perfect day, which would be something I could actually obtain much sooner since it would be within our means already.
Absolute Perfect Day would start out with waking up in my bedroom in The Yellow House in Rehoboth. The ocean breezes would be coming in through the open windows and the kids would be bringing Hubby and I breakfast that they put together for us. We would take our morning stroll on the boardwalk to get coffee and a paper. We would then head to the beach for a swim and possibly a surf, home for lunch on our beautiful porch and out for an afternoon drive down the coast to Ocean City for dinner. An evening stroll on the boardwalk for some lemon ice and chocolate fudge and home to bed for a good nights rest.
My Realistic perfect Dad would be almost exactly the same, the only difference would be that we wouldn’t be waking up in The Yellow House, but in our rented cottage and the kids wouldn’t necessarily be making our breakfast. The rest of the day would be exactly the same.
Each year we head down to the Beach and spend our time doing what we love the most. We have those perfect days, we go for our morning and evening and sometimes mid-day stroll, we go for a swim and we head out for dinner. We add in a lot of other fun stuff too, which is why we return year after year. Some people might think we are nuts to keep this tradition that has been in my family for 50+ years going, but truly we love it and look forward to the smell of the ocean air and the strolls on the boardwalk. We live out our perfect day at least seven times each year. It keeps us going back for more.
What would your perfect day consist of?

Beach Mama, would you consider sharing the link to the cottage you rent? Before kids, we spent a glorious few days at Dewey Beach and visited Rehoboth. Would love to rent a place near there for a week with the kids. Like you, we crave at least a week a year to breathe the ocean air and feel the sand between our toes.
So funny we were discussing your vacations last night. I had no idea you had posted about it. It certainly does sound perfect!
OH I want to do this…now I will have to think about it. And this perfect day is excatly what I would have expected from you my dear girl friend! AWESOME!
I can’t wait! Unfortunately, that house was out of our price range as well, even if we rented it out most of the summer. The little trailers on the training site will have to do. But I so can’t wait!
As it gets closer, we definitely have to plan to meet!
