When I say we, that is not totally correct. Michael has chosen to stay at home this year. Partially out of a fear of Covid, but I mainly because he is 21 years old and has been stuck in the house with all of us since March. And he needs some space and alone time. I miss him...but, if we are all being totally honest, the tensions that his autism sometimes brings into the mix means that the three of us are actually quite relaxed right now.
And when I say the three of us, that is not wholly correct, either. Because Chewy has a contracting position that he is trying to wrap up before he starts a New Position (with the potential of permanency) on September 1st. So...Chewy took a separate car, and he is here for now, but is intending to go back home early because he needs to do a presentation.

So, it really is going to be the two of us for a portion of this vacation, which is already strange because of Covid.
There are vacations where its about doing things, there are vacations about just getting away and relaxing, and then there are the strange ones you do in a pandemic where there are restrictions but you find that just being somewhere different (and by the ocean) is enough.
I do miss not being able to use the pools here...but there will be other vacations, and we are just thankful right now to be happy, healthy and relaxed in whatever capacity we can be at the moment, whether that is at home alone unrestricted or being on Cape and eating breakfast on the deck.
