After they eat, they build a fire in the fire pit and just sit down to relax and to listen to the calming sound of the ocean waves.

Patch and Kirstie cuddle but he is unable to take his eyes off of the amazing view of the ocean. 

Tim is sitting with Jenika snuggling into his side. Adam lays down on the other side with his head laying in Tim's lap, staring into the fire. Tim mindlessly playing with Adam's hair.

"Guys, I was telling Patch about the mountains earlier." Kevin speaks up, breaking the silence. "Maybe sometime we could take a trip to the Smokies."

"I've never actually been to the Smokies. I've been to the Ozarks, but hadn't made it to see the Smokies yet." Tim answers.

"What are Smokies and Ozarks?" Patch ask with a confused look.

"Those are different mountain ranges in different parts of the country." Kirstie tells him.

Patch nods but he still has no idea what she is talking about.

"We definitely need to plan a trip." Tim smiles. "This is all new to Patch and Patches. We should all just take a long road trip. Let them see that there is more out there besides a New York street."

"Oh God. That would be so much fun." Kirstie smiles, glancing around at a sleeping Emily laying on the seat beside her.

"Hate to rain on y'all's parade but I don't have any vacation time left." Jenika says laying her head on Tim's shoulder.

"Then quit." Tim says, looking around at her.

"Honey, we've already been over this." Jenika says, raising her eyes to meet his.

"Yes we have." Tim nods. "And there is absolutely no reason why you should work."

"Y..you can quit yo job and...and tay home w...w..wit me and Tim. K, Jen??" Adam says still staring at the fire.

"You boys are teaming up against me. That's not fair." Jenika chuckles as she rubs Adam on the head.

Adam raises up putting an arm around Tim's neck and looks Jenika in the eyes. "W..We pay durty." (we play dirty) He nods.

"Yes, you do." Jenika laughs, kissing him on the nose.

Patch reaches over and taps Jenika on the leg to get her attention.

"I would really love to see the mountains. Plus what ever else is out there to see." He says giving her a sad look.

"Jenika, you're doomed." Kevin laughs shaking his head.

"Oh Crap. This isn't right, y'all." Jenika laughs. "I'm getting attacked. Brown, blue and green eyes all giving me that sad look."

"Okay, h..h..heel how I thee it." (here's how I see it) Adam says with a nod.

Tim laughs and rubs him on the back as Jenika raises her eyebrows at the pirate.

"Y..You don't need to wowk. (work) T..Tim is wich. (rich)" He stares at Jenika with large eyes. "And  and you need to tay (stay) at home wit me and Tim. T..Tim needs help sometimes wit me. Pecially (especially) when s...she shows up. Pus, (plus) I..I..I like to twable." (travel)

"How can you argue with that?" Tim ask giving her his sad eyes.

"Patches ain't here to speak for himself so I'll take the privilege of speaking for him." Kevin laughs. "PEEZ!!!"
