I just returned from one final long hot 3 mile beach walk. Matt went running, so I listened to 5 New Moms, New Babies podcasts while I walked. The walk was long, but it went by fast!
Before I left –
Yogurt, berries, banana, Cville Crunch, sunbutter
I will miss
- The walks
- The ocean sounds
- The seafood
- The king size bed
- The to-do list
- The family
But you know it’s a good vacation when you’re ready to go home.
I can’t wait for
- Our kitchen
- Our porch
- Our garden
- Our friends
- Our shady streets
- Fridays After Five

Beautiful photos. Have a safe trip home!
How about the smell of the ocean? I never get tired of that salty/humid air!
Love the sand footprint photo
! Have a safe drive back!
Have a safe trip home!
Glad you had fun!
Glad you had a wonderful trip, Kath! Safe travels home
safe travels home! glad you had a relaxing and rejuvinating vacation
Great minds think alike – we had the same breakfast right down to the Cville Cluster!
It looks like a gorgeous last day, especially compared to the clouds yesterday! I agree – vacations are great (especially when they include beaches) but I’m always ready to come back home to my own bed and kitchen. Safe travels!
That Simon and Garfunkel song always plays in my head the day I head home too
Kath, do you plan doing another Open Sky sale for the Cville Cluster Granola?
Not in the short term, no
That walk must have been relaxing! I’m glad you had a great time on your vacation.
Safe travels home!
It’s always nice to return to the conveniences of home sweet home!
Going home after a long trip is always welcome, but also a bit of a let down for me. Life’s a beach!
Glad you had such a wonderful time on vacation
Who tended to the garden while you and Matt were away? & about how long of a drive is the ocean from where you guys live? Have a great day!
We had a house sitter!
Beautiful walks! DC has a similar “Fridays after Five”; a free jazz concert in the National Gallery of Art! It’s a massive event and always packed, but a good effort on the city’s part.
Have a safe trip back to Cville! Baby KERF is going to be here in the blink of an eye, and you will be so happy you had this trip.
It’s always bittersweet when a great vacation comes to an end. I always look forward to home, but miss the excitement/relaxation of a great trip away. Be safe!
Glad you had fun! I’m going to miss the ocean pictures!!!Safe travels!
Kath I am so sad your trip has come to an end because it was like re-living my life, a decade ago. It doesn’t appear that much has changed on that beach. It’s as gorgeous as I remember it and I am so happy you guys had SUCH a great time and PERFECT weather!
Was it a Thursday-Wednesday rental? Just curious how they set it up to include the holiday weekend.
Thurs-Thurs. It’s still considered the “value season” so we could do a nightly rental for a week
Drive safely. Vacations are nice but there’s no place like home.
Gorgeous photo of the walk/prints. Love it!
Have a safe trip home and I enjoyed your vaction.
Such beautiful pictures!! I wouldn’t mind walking along that lovely beach, either!
As much fun as it is to get away…it is just as fun heading home! I always feel refreshed, rejuvinated and ready to tackle my everyday life after a trip away…even if it is just for a weekend! Safe driving!
I love vacations, but after a week I am so ready to go home!
It’s always bittersweet leaving a vacation spot, but I’m always happy thinking about sleeping in my own bed and just being back at home
Vacation is great and relaxing, but getting home–especially when you have to drive–feels better!

Great idea to make a list about other things you are looking forward to. When something fun and relaxing ends I always find myself kinda in a slump…next time I’m going to make a positive list!
Looks like you had a Great time!
