Summer holidays

Summer holidays = unfamiliar place + absence of essential home perks (Harry Potter dvds, internet, bath toys, bikes, chalk, LRT, choice of granola bars/nutrigrains/bran bars/bran bites/crunchers, Bernard Callebaut semi-sweet chocolate wafers, CBC radio 2) + time change + mediocre weather + nil playdates = exhausted parents in need of a holiday

My husband's words of wisdom:  Holidays are about creating memories, not necessarily about having fun.
