Vacation Day 1
This morning I woke up very early. I went to get the Angel from the hospital, have him signed out, checked on his tummy--tummy is always a problematic point--and then helped him dress and we hit the road. We went to our little summer home in Vonyarcvashegy, on Lake Balaton. The Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe, with an impressive length of 77 km and width of around 6 km it is the home of several lake resorts, largish towns, little villages and one of Hungary's historic wine regions in Badacsony.
Vonyarcvashegy is on the very west of the North Shore, making it a pleasant swimming spot with its fast deepening water on the beach and classy restaurants. One of the traveling amusement parks usually stops in the village for several weeks, so that provides great entertainment to the kids as well.
Before we got there our friends Mikey and Sheridan were vacationing in our house for a week. They not only cleaned up after themselves, but they filled our fridge with all kinds of goodies, including a nice selection of alcopop, soft drinks, a chocolate cake, grilled chicken, and did I mention a brand new refrigerator? Sheridan got it as part of his Bonus, but they already had two... Some of the perks of working for a company that manufactures all kinds of things, from cell phones to refrigerators to televisions. I, on the other hand, get free sterile wipes! Now that can be useful, too!
Mikey and Sheridan also set the bedroom up for us: nice silk sheets, candles, aromatherapy burner, ready for some intimate time with the Angel... That lasted till the morning. But before that we went out to dinner. There is a neat little restaurant that we frequent when we can down the street where we had a fabulous dinner... and then we ran home, or rather I was running, pushing the Angel's wheelchair, having a blast, being carefree and happy.
