It begins...

Dear Nicky,

This morning our vacation began in earnest, with a nice breakfast for you, and all of us actually. Then we hit the pool for quite a while, which probably tired you out and accounted for your somewhat poor behavior in the kids klub, which necessitated them calling your mother's cell phone while she and I were on the beach. This was kind of upsetting forMom and me. Later we out to Target only to discover that it was closed for Easter. So we went to a Walgreen's to get some stuff we needed, like a way to make a stepstool for you when you use the potty--and some aloe vera and vitamin C for my sunburn. Then we went down to a bookstore, came back, had a bath, then dinner, then bed.

Love,
Dad
