Dune Buggy Condensation

Gesichtet: Maryland's favorite camper!


Is been a while since we were camping, but I could not motivate them to write the trip report. Shame on me !

It started on Thursday, 19.08. at 12:30 Clock. Actually we wanted to 9:00 Clock start, but for unknown circumstances, we took one of the families with whom we have planned the trip 3.5 hours of late. After four
hours [Hell] Assateaque trip to Iceland, Maryland (which is awfully nice in addition to wild horses, meadows and forests, etc.), we arrived at the campsite.
I say only this: cut off from any other everyday luxuries such as electricity, hot water, a comfortable bed, and the like. But hey: back to the roots !
After all the tents, pavilions and drying line devices have been built, which are, moreover 2 cost valuable hours, we went to the ocean. Fantastically !
After dinner, we still sitting around the fire and leave us by the insects eat half of what we knew by the next day.
final tip: Bugspray may apply the next time before.

The next day started early.
Very early. Not to say at 5:30 Clock. Thanks again to the children at this point.
had at least some good things: you could attend the sunrise and make beautiful photos.

The rich breakfast was consumed and joined the rest of the day off to swim in the ocean build sand castles, burying children, swimming, eating , lunch, back to the beach, swim n lying around in the sun.
Oh, I "get sunburn " the already mentioned?
an experience to which I would like to dispense. But unfortunately I've forgotten my einzucremen after swimming again on the back.
later than when it was bedtime, I got the feel. That night was hot
, uncomfortable and eerie painful, associated with 200x waking. And this time not only for the children!


The next day was basically a copy of the preceding.
be at least be mentioned that the family befriended her giant car, apart from people, filled with food had. The tent, beach chairs, sleeping bags, etc. were put on the car roof.
One can imagine also:
A single feeding orgy including muffins, cookies, croissants, [ each in at least 3 different varieties ] , sandwiches [ you with everything , and I mean everything ! Demonstrate that, again, because the family had not forgotten anything swim], each type of meat in the world ...
etc. It was really all about food, what the daily bread is one of the American .

On Sundays we are then reduced by one, all tents, loaded the car back in the was 70% of eating back pack because 12 people not 3 tons of food within can eat three days [ and do ] and then went on to one last walk on the beach.

The return trip took time even 5 hours because we were fortunate to land in two jams. But I like not much noticed, since I fell into a sort of coma after I had taken the car space. good for me.

The first thing I did when I had arrived back "home": A hot shower, which in the end but not too hot ausviel because of sunburn, 10 minutes of television and, of course, sleep! A boon
.

result / s of the camping trips :
- right the first time since ... 10 years browned.
- for a beach holiday to tolerate even 5 kids screaming.
- and a heavy sunburn including leprosy symptoms after 4 days.
- Camping is still not my thing, but to endure.
- grow mosquito bites from Maryland to tumor-like elevations.
- Ocean = love love love.
- beach = love love love.
- again? definitely.

How Do You Clean Urine Out Of Cotton Underpants

Gesichtet: the best art gallery ever!

morning 10:30 in DC .

Friday was actually a zoo - trip with the kindergarten group of the Lesser planned.
Unfortunately the weather was down, and thus much of this water into the . After a few
[ many> ] children tears, dismissed me in my Hostmum the most koolest museum in the world. Ok ... but almost!
The two children remained in " Day Care Center " and so I had the day off.

This course wanted to be put to good use and I had planned for some time, go to the " National Gallery of Art " to . Good idea! The museum consists of two Parts: the
" classic" works in the West building and the modern works in the East Building.
There were also a few exhibitions.
Long story short : have in this house I wonder now spent 3 hours and I still have not seen anything! For I was for the complete " eastern part " , so the modern stuff, too tired. And admittedly somewhat listless and oversaturated.
So get out again.

Also, since the museum staff seemed with decreasing age of the plants to become more and more insistent ... OO
then I've still spent about an hour on the " National Mall " promenade, as the weather had become something better.

I then met with my Hostmum front of their office, which is not far away. Back to " Day Care Center " and the children picked up and off you went home. Pretty tired, added.

evening I was then taken there with a lot [ 4] German / Austrian Au Pair for dinner. Since I had already eaten, there's " only " a Cheesecake ... it was sooo delicious! And huge.

recommendation :
"Vanilla Bean Cheesecake " of TGI Friday's - delicous.

The weekend was more dignified.
Saturday was actually a party program planned, but there were a few complications with another au pair that I wanted to pick up nice enough, so I spent Saturday night with Alice and Mad Hatter on the couch. Very amusing and
... love! On Sunday

was a shopping trip with my Lieblingshostmum on To - Thurs - List .
Thanks to this I could add a few more shops on my " best shopping in the world " list.
got home gabs food and a short Mallbesuch with Lisa .
A very lovely German Au Pair. This was certainly not the last meeting.

Thursday's head to the camping trip to Maryland .
I'm excited! :) As far as

me.

This was like ... the best day ever!

Starting with 8:30 am and breakfast for the children [ cheese scrambled eggs what? and sausages. ] went further relaxed the day.
Actually, we wanted to continue the morning with "pool time", but a burglar made us a spanner in the works.
This was in fact the night before, tried to tamper with the swimming pool and a gallant set off the gate. In search of money he probably has only a few old toys and plastic slippers found ... but thanks for still left a devastation.

Short description:
" Build a Bear " sees itself as revelation, in which one is any form of fantasy in children can achieve a soft toy. It may be in the form of a teddy bear, pony, monkey, Hello Kitty ... blah blah blah. Everything!
This fantasy characters can then be inserted into the outfit of his choice. Maybe Jedi, athletes, Princess, It-Girl ... blah blah blah. Everything!
is then the little creature with a lot of filler material of very amiable [ and gutausehenden! ] pumped full of people and voilà: It's alive. At least in your heart .

have in this dream factory, the children each a white pony in Arielle outfit [ including mermaid tail, bikini top and red wig! ] and a monkey in the original Washington Union baseball jerseys can create.
Because we made such a large purchase, there were even two bags for free! [ Wohooo ! ]

gimme more of it!

Not exactly cheap, the shop. But so wonderful! Since it is hinverschlagen me for sure again, that my childhood wishes have not remain unfulfilled ^ ^

the rest of the afternoon we then turn in the garden, children's bedrooms and family room with activities such as hiding any possible Board game of your imagination, puzzles, " My Little Petshop " - no, we do not know what that is - bla bla bla verbacht.
We were certainly employs :)

In the evening we began with the preparations for the dinner, as for this evening two friends [ a married couple: Vanessa + Mark ] of Hostdads were invited.
