Summer Vacation 2019

Earlier this month we embarked on our much anticipated summer beach vacation.  This year took us to Pleasure Island where we rented a house right on the beach with mere steps from our back door to the sand.  We had a wonderfully relaxing week in North Carolina whiling away the hours with swimming, sunning, movies, meals and naps. 

Here are some things I want to remember from this vacation: Rex's exuberant excitement upon seeing the ocean again, Ella's first taste of sushi, Emilia's bravery in the waves after many timid years, meeting up with friends on the way to and from NC, seeing a rainbow, sunrises and fireworks, Britts Donuts, the popularity of the outdoor shower, singing in the car, and uncontrollable laughter after lights out at the hotel on the way home.

We're so thankful once again for this special time together as a family and for the opportunity to get away to a place we all love.
