Sabbatical Roadtrip Day 32

Labor Day! We decided to take a break and just go to the beach. We started to pack things in the car when we notices a little ant "issue" in the hotel parking lot. More on that later.... We had breakfast and then headed to the beach. It was a bit cloudy/overcast which made the beach less populated and we were able to find a spot to park. We built sand castles for awhile and then found a boogie board that we thought we'd give a try. Nate enjoyed it, Logan tried it, and I was glad when it was time to come back in :-) On the drive back to the hotel I started to notice ants in the car. We squished one, and then another by the time we arrived at the hotel I realized this was actually a bigger issue that wasn't going away. I spent the next hour or so pulling the car apart and checking our food bin for ants (thankfully they didn't get in there!). Once I was satisfied we got them all out of the car we headed to dinner in downtown Disney. We had a fantastic dinner at the rainforest café and enjoyed walking around checking out the shops. As we got back to the car we noticed there were still lots of ants and decided to go to Home Depot to get some assistance with our issue. We think they will be gone if we leave the bait out all night! Please note: There were also many, many tears today over the fact that Space Mountain at Disneyland is under refurbishment and will not be on the agenda for the next few days. Disneyland can expect a strong statement from a certain 8 year old who thinks that Space Mountain is the only reason someone would go to Disneyland and should not ever be taken offline for more than 24 hours. Sigh. I think the effects of such a long road trip are setting in. We've become irrational! Hoping a good nights rest will help us all :-)
