Yep! My MUCH needed vacation time is just about here - only 5 more hours in the office! I've got a few things that I MUST wrap up today, but I really don't want to get into anything big before I leave the office for a week.....I wish I could just leave now, and head to the beach tonight!
I dropped little Hokie off this morning to be boarded until Monday. Funny, I've never been quite as sad to board him before. Since we've had the fence installed and he can get his exercise, he's been the best dog. As of late, he travels most places with us, but we unfortunately can't really take him to the beach (since no place there at all allows pets, including on the beach). I bet John will miss him - they really are turning into best buds.
We have spent our last two nights at the NRV fair, working with the youth goat show (well, Sharon judged and I entertained John). Last night was pretty funny as they had the goat obstacle course and the goat / owner look alike contest. We are hoping that John will want to be involved in 4-H and will be showing Jack (one of our Nigerian Dwarves) in a couple of years. I wish we had more land - I would have a small herd of 10-20 if possible. We also saw some of the horse pull events with the big Belgian Draft horses last night - I've never seen such big and beautiful horses!
By the way, the father/son weekend last week went very well! John and I had a great time together!
So anyways, tonight should be busy getting ready for the beach - it was one thing with just Sharon and I, but with John, we have to pack about half of our house (it seems). He's been to the beach at the lake before, but not to the beach beach. Should be fun - we will play lots of putt-putt, and I get to make my pilgrammage to Margaritaville! We hope to be on the road by about 5 tomorrow morning so that John can sleep most of the way there, and so we will have almost a full day at the beach. Good times should be had by all!
