The Sea

We hit a traffic jam

Cars moving along at 10

Frustration showing on our faces

Take the next exit to home.

But then the road cleared

And 120 was the norm

We're heading for the sea today

A walk along the sandy shore.

Digging in the sand

And running through the waves

Watching little boy smiles

Enjoying the sunshiney day

As we went to take the exit

The traffic once again stood still

No way we're going there

Black Friday, splendid idea

Jari in the backseat

Look mama, what I've done

I turn around to face a surprise

Shoes tied, proud of his first time

With a thumbs up to my son

Pride floods through my veins

A family day out a complete success

In that one small moment

Nothing else more matters now.

We did finally arrive at the beach and then headed to Madurodam...and know what? It was a magnificent day. Thank you dear husband for going against your will to make it a day to remember...in more ways than one!

aND FOR A FUNNY BIT: As we were sitting in traffic arguing, Jari says to us "I think you guys better go to bed when we get home." "Why?" "Cuz you sure a yelling and being mean to each other, so you must be really tired!!!" Kids speak volumes....
