Make-A-Wish Trip: Day 6
We went to bed early the night before because we had a long trip home in front of us. At 1:00am, I woke up to what sounded like elephants doing cannonballs off the bed in the room above us. Crash! Boom! Crash! BOOM! We knew there was a wedding at Ocean Edge later that day so our best guess is that the bachelor party was directly above us. It had to be either drunk people or a room full of 8 year old boys having a blast! After listening to this mess for 30 minutes, I called the front desk and they apologized profusely. They said that security had already been to that room but would go again. After this call, the room got significantly quieter and we went back to sleep.
We woke bright and early on August 29, 2009 and finished packing up. We all went to pick up Carmen and to say goodbye to Connie. Thank you so, so much Connie! You made our trip so much easier. We were able to get sleep at night and enjoy our days.
Here is a picture of Connie, Carmen and Lauren
Dave snapped this picture a few minutes later. I love it.
The weather had been absolutely perfect all week (a little drizzly the day before but nothing bad). We started home on the right day: it rained from Cape Cod to Maryland! Despite the rain, we made it home in about 10 hours.
Thank you Make-A-Wish for Carmen’s wonderful trip. Thank you for giving Carmen the chance to feel the ocean breeze and to be outside. Thank you for giving us a time of relaxation and reconnecting as a family. Thank you for all that you do.
The picture of Lauren and Carmen is amazing! You can see just how much Lauren adores her baby sister. Such a precious photo! So glad you all had a great trip!
About the party upstairs, if it was the bachelor party, then it was the equivalent of a room of 8 year old boys! Glad they got them to quiet down for you!
what a Wonderful Trip! I would like to add….Thank you to Make A Wish Foundation!!! You guys Rock!!!
Love ya, Janet (Hope all is well)
I absolutely think the picture of Lauren gently touching Carmen’s face is so frame worthy! =) I am so glad you guys had a blast! Thanks for sharing!
