Beach Trip: Day 7

Of course we headed to the beach on our final day. There was a kids pool competition and my kids really held their own. Connor was one of the youngest participants but it was awesome to see it entire team of complete strangers chanting his name. Can’t ever underestimate the Connor-man. This was the first…

Beach Trip: Day 6

It’s hard to believe the week is almost over. Today we headed to Charleston to do the Fort Sumter tour. We stayed dry on the boat ride there, but the bottom fell out minutes after arriving at the Fort. So here we were, captive in a fort had long since lost its roof and had…

Beach Trip: Day 5

I remembered at the last minute that every week there was a kids fishing tournament at the marina. It was a little sticky outside (well actually, a lot sticky) and Connor wasn’t really into it, but Cailee ended up persisting and catching a little fish (I forget what they called it – something like an…

Beach Trip: Day 4

Our vacations are never about resting and relaxation. We always keep going and seeing and doing. Last year we did the Pirate Adventures boat at Hilton Head and it was one thing I knew we were going to miss until I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the same outfit had opened up in Seabrook…

Beach Trip: Day 1

All I can say is that we are so blessed. This year Stacy and Scott offered us their beach house, for free, for the week. It is hard to pass up an offer like that. They had to be in trial for the month of August so, lucky for us, it was going to be…

Swingin High

Hard to beat this smile on Connor’s face while daddy was pushing him on the swing at Cailee’s horse lesson. I just love it! This kid is in such a fun and adorable phase, I wish he never had to grow up. Yes, he wants attention but he still craves being held, he demands to…

Dublin to Washington

One week, I was minding my own business, working and the next week I found myself in Dublin, Ireland. Turns out when we you are working on a pretty hot project, travel approval that is generally pretty hard to come by, just happens, even at the eleventh hour. So I learned of the trip on…

My little animals

Kinda spur of the moment we decided to go to the zoo today. We got there and I thought I had it all figured out – as in – which side to start in so we ended at the car and hit the water area last – well turns out I got it all backwards,…
