Goodbye beach
goodbye pond
goodbye lobster rolls and days so long
goodbye fish and goodbye shells
goodbye bubbles, and whistles and bells
goodbye ice cream
goodbye daydreams
goodbye fried clams and cookies and cream
goodbye little house
goodbye big yard
goodbye playing so very hard
goodbye stars, goodbye sea air
goodbye sand, everywhere.
{Inspired by Goodnight Moon. Obviously.}
And a huge thank you to all of my lovely guest posters for filling in—it was wonderful having a break. And I’m ready to come back!

Ending a vacation sucks (not that I’d really know since I never go on them), but we missed you wicked bad, so glad you’ll be back soon:)

I’m off to Rehoboth in a couple of weeks and you are just making me even MORE excited! Did I ever ask what beach you went to? And for that matter, am I to understand that we actually live in the same area??? This only just occurred to me after the news that you and Christy both lived in Georgetown…

All good things must come to an end right? I hate it when vacations end. I’m glad you had a fantastic time at the beach though. Great work on the poem too. Goodnight Moon is one of our favorites!!
