I was going to get up early for the gym, but I can't sleep more than 45 minutes in a stretch it seems. Annoying. So I got out of bed at 9:30. Feed the bunny/turtle and went to get my kiddo.

(insert a ton of "I haven't since last year" jokes)

I always go to Plum Island on New Years day so the kid complained he didn't want to go over and over and over. Bitched about everything. Then we went and he had a blast. We went to the mouth of the merrimack first and we were one of only a few people there. The temps were in the 50's, but the wind was so fierce that it was like getting sand blasted. We did walk around a corner and found a bunch of kids that just polar plunged.

We went down to the federal reserve side and my mom found us on the beach. Thanks to the Trump Shutdown, there was no staff, no fee collection, no bathrooms, no enforcement. The place was mobbed. I remember when I was a kid and we would go on New Years and we would be the only people there. This time, it was absolutely packed. Without enforcement agents there, people were just parking wherever they wanted. Granted, there were some "closed" trails where the boardwalks weren't that safe... but I turned to my mom and said "well, who's going to stop us?" and the kid and I walked down some CRAZY/OVERGROWN boardwalks. There were missing boards everywhere, but with the sun, wind, and 50's weather, it was just beautiful. It felt like walking in a dream sequence from a movie. We said good bye to my mom and drove up the coast. Dropped him off at his mom's.

I went home and clean a bit, played with the bunbun, and then played RDR2 until I went to bed. I slept like crap and got up at 5am for the gym.

Not the best vacation since I was mega sick for most of it, but still better than work.
