Oceanside Trip Blog (Series, Day 6)

It’s 7:05 am. I frequently wake up around 4 am. Today was 5 am. The morning feels slow, waiting for others to wake up.
I was doing the dishes; I guess I was making too much noise. I woke up my wife. I stopped doing dishes and we laid on the couch, waiting for the kids to wake up. It felt really nice. You know how it is when you are with someone you really care about, and you don’t have to say anything. It’s nice to be with them, just knowing they are there.
While we went to CVS pharmacy, my partner's cousin was up and working virtually. It seems like she is a bit of a workaholic. I am not sure if it was just at that time, or if Tracy is always that way. The trip to CVS was to buy Mucinex for my significant other. She was congested.
When we came back, Eli made us eggs, pancakes and cut up some strawberries. I always add peanut butter or Nutella to my pancakes, just a suggestion. Again, I would have liked to have cooked for my family. I would have probably made the same thing, but it just would have been nice to have done it myself.
In the afternoon, we went to Buccaneer Park, a local park. It has a good playground. I spun my kids around on the silver spinning thing. I really enjoyed that. They also had this bridge that was about balancing skills. The bridge was suspended by rope so it moved as you walked on it. You kinda had to pay attention. I did that a couple times, too.

When I was younger, the slides at the parks were made out of metal so you could go super fast. There were also cement slides. They were okay, but not as fast as the metal ones. You needed to sit on cardboard on the cement ones to make them go faster. Now there are just slow plastic slides.
