I had a specatacular week in Northport at Sunrise Landing. It was a little slice of heaven for me. The weather was perfect (highs in the 70s, lows in the high 50s). K still doesn't love the sun or water. C liked our "holiday house" and had fun, but was ready to come home a couple days before it was time. I think 3 nights might have been her magic number.
We should have planned better for our meals. Having the baby kitchen would have allowed us to make a few more meals, but we wanted to be dish free for vacation. So, lots of sandwiches were the key. We used the fridge and the toaster. The Cheese Shanty sandwiches were the food highlight again this trip. They are delicious.
