summer vacation

The five of us packed up our things and headed to Bald Head Island for a week of relaxation. This was my thinking... we've done the Disney thing, too exhausting!! I thought a week on a remote island would be nice, nothing to do BUT relax, right? We shared the week with good friends from Idaho (the solis') and Florida (the hines). It was good to have that time together, and great to have the kids grow up with one another, but with 6 kids it took a gallon of Sangaria, 3 gallons of Vodka, a 5th of Gin, LOTS of beer and a little bit of tequila to keep sane!! It really was a great time, I just miss sleeping in and being able to lay out on the beach without having to jump up every two minutes. Alot of hot beers resulted from my countless attempts to relax. Oh well, it gives me something to look forward to in 16.5 years!!

Here we are...

Us adults did get to get away for a sail on the ocean. It took Tim & Shawn a couple of days to get to know all the college kids on the island doing an intern and a couple of the gals volunteered to baby.sit while we did something. Thank God!!! This sail made the trip!
