"We're on vacation. We're supposed to be nice to each other."

We are trying to be. It's just that it has been raining for 4 days and is supposed to for the duration of our summer vacation. We are a cross between utterly dismayed and relatively accepting/development of non-sunny plans mode.

Ella said this at the breakfast table. What can I say? She's right... Time together can be fun regardless of thwarted attempts to get the pop-up out for an overnight and abandoned trips to the beach.

After all, we are going to Bar Harbor overnight this weekend sans children...
