Monday, yesterday, was a real Monday. We started off with small tasks that needed to be done and ended up with 2 long drives to Boston then to Westborough.
First up North to Boston. I received a call in the mid morning to say our box that was shipped, arrived on Friday and was ready to be cleared. I already knew this, as my agent in SA had sent me an email on Friday. However I found out that we could clear the box ourselves vs paying an agent $200. It seems to be quite complicated and we were nervous to do so, but we had plan B, the agent, if Plan A did not work. So off to Customs we go. After a mere showing of Ili's passport the box was cleared and ready to be collected. Shoo, cha ching, $200 saved!
On our way to Boston I received a call from an agent for a "what do I want" interview. He was however in the Westborough office this week which meant we had to travel. It was a 40 min drive west of Boston, but we figured since we were north already lets just do it. (Boston trip was a 1:15hr drive). Ok so interview with Agent done, lets hope he can work his magic. Drive home 1.5hours -eish
So todays mission was to get a truck to collect our box. Its not a small box so not just any truck will do. Off we go to Home Depot. Again just one more hurdle, we need a Massachusettes license in order to hire a truck - great! Thank God for Laura's dad who is willing to help us tomorrow. Yay!!!
Ili and I also managed to get our vision board drafted ie our vision is currently in a brain storm fashion just missing pictures so it can truly be a vision board.
The afternoon, we decided to chill and finally visit the beach! We met Laura, her mom and the boys at Ned's Point, Mattapoisett. It was really good to hear the ocean, see the ocean, smell the ocean and just sit. Sit. Sit. Clear the mind and sit.

 |
| The beach. A bit rocky but still a beach. Jaime took some time to settle in but when he did he had a blast! The shoes and pants were off. He ran on those stones like his feet were protected with a hard rubber. Throwing stones was just so much fun! |

| Running away from the wave...note the HUGE wave behind him tee hee |

| Eventually the shirt was off so he could swim. Even drawing in the sand was fun! |
This was Jaime's second time at the beach so you can say a completely new experience for him. The texture of the sand was quite an ordial, but luckily he was willing to experiment, as you saw above, and rather enjoyed the texture between his toes and fingers. He wanted to go for a swim, he asked to take his clothes off so he could swim, but mentally he just could not go into the water. having said that he did wet his toes cleaning some hermit crabs.
I am happy we staying close to the ocean cause I do love it so much!
