Winding up a vacation is always a bummer. I’m shaking sand out of things and putting them back into their places. Tod’s showering and finishing up his packing. Soon we’ll be checking out and heading for the Philadelphia Airport to catch a flight to Dulles then on to Pittsburgh. The mood in the condotel is melancholic frenzy.

It’s been an interesting week getting to know my family again. Both of my cousins, who were kids when we last met, are adults now. My niece is growing by leaps and bounds. The rest of us are getting older, too, but it’s better not to think too much about that. Jenn and I were silly sisters together, falling right back into the playful patterns of our childhood. But I still resent that she’s taller than me. Posted by kuri at June 16, 2001 07:28 PM
