The kids and I have not been to the beach house in almost four months. My Wonderful Husband has been there a few times for clean up after the storm, but the kids and I haven't been on the island since before soccer season started. The plan was to go to the beach house yesterday. But snow in PA kept us housebound. We were annoyed, but we rolled with it, changed our plans, and left this morning after the weather cleared. I joked yesterday that "come snow or high water" we would make it to the island. Little did I know how true that statement would be.... We made it to the island in great time and without incident and then started seeing the water as we crossed the bridge. Uh oh, not looking good.... then we stopped. This picture was actually a borrowed picture - we didn't even get this far and I was far too upset about the situation to grab my camera. The island was so flooded that the boulevard was closed. The police officer explained that it was impassable and it would be about two hours before they would be letting anyone pass. Heavy sigh. Ok...where does one go with a car full of three kids and a dog that just drove four hours from PA? Thank goodness my cousin lives close by and let us "gate crash" and even fed us while we waited. THANK YOU! :-) xo After an impromptu visit and once the water receded we were able to get back on the island and finally made it to our house.
