1) Hanging on the beach and watching the waves crash on the shore; building sand castles, chasing seagulls, flying kite, throwing the Frisbee and football with my son and daughter.
2) Sleeping like a den of bears in the guest bedroom. My daughter slept in her portable crib to the left of the bed and my son slept on an air mattress to the right. Very cozy. On the first night, our daughter woke up at 1:00am and saw us sleeping on the bed and got so excited she stood up in the portable crib and shouted "momma" "dadda" over and over again. We repeatedly told her it was "night night" time and to go to bed until our son woke up. After which my daughter got even more excited seeing him in the room and added his name to the list of words she for the next hour or so. Around 3:00am, we all finally fell back to sleep.
3)Eating, eating, and more eating. We all love to cook and eat and we did a lot of that over the four day weekend! Including, but not limited to: grilled tenderloin with homemade onion rings and pulled pork barbecue sandwiches! Homemade brownies and rice crispy treats! OMG!
4) Watching the Superbowl! What a game! I am not a rabid football fan like my husband, but what a game it was! Two fantastic teams. Two fantastic touchdowns at the end by the Steelers. What a game!
5) Cuddling on the plane ride home with my daughter. She feel asleep about 30minutes into the 2.5hour flight. She had her arms wrapped around me and her head on my shoulder for two whole hours. Cozy *1000!
6) Hanging out, talking, catching up, picking up right where you left off, with old friends.
7) Doing #6 with my husband!
8) Watching a special series of Animal Planet on HBO with our good friends, husband, and son (while my daughter slept). Did you know that dolphins and ducks can work together to "squeeze" a school of sword fish, such that they can catch the fish and eat them? Did you know that Polar bears hibernate for 4 months after which they must leave their den to hunt food for their cubs who are vulnerable to being killed by male polar bears!
9) Watching my son and daughter (try to) walk the little dogs on their leashes.
10) Watching my son and daughter play, hug, kiss, laugh, and bond with our good friends.
11) Coming home!

I love your list! We do almost the same thing when we go down there, except with my family.
#2, that's exactly how we do it too!
Sounds like you had a really fun time.
