For any of you that read this blog on a regular basis and noticed that it has been a while since I last updated, I am sorry. I took a blogging break for a bit and now I am back.
We actually went on a long vacation which was great...and now I have lots of fun things to report on here to all of you.
We had planned to go to NC via plane, but I have had some issues with my left ear for a while. Basically I was told since I couldn't clear it that I shouldn't fly. So we chose to test out the new wheels and drive the 2.5 days to NC from TX...yes, 2.5 days in a car with two kids. Thankfully me new car has a DVD player. It was actually not bad at all and we didn't have any major issues along the way to report. Yeah! We drove night on Friday the 16th from San Antonio to Lafayette LA...we got there at 1 AM and went to bed only to get up early and get back on the road...this time making it to Convington, GA (outside of Atlanta) on Saturday night close to 11 PM. We then had the last day to make it to the beach...we got there around 6 PM, tired, but thrilled! My parents met us there to enjoy some time with us and the kids. It was a great surprise that they chose to come down to be with us. Although we have had visits with them, we haven't had a ton of time with them, the visits are usually stops on a long road trip for them. So this was great. We had a whole week at the beach in a condo that was literally on the beach...the kids loved it, especially Zachary. It is a very family friendly area, not comercialized at all and just a lot of fun for anyone that loves the beauty of the ocean. I am excited to start saving for next year. :) We then spent a few days back in Greensboro with my parents and saw my sister, nephew and brother in law...got to have some fun days with Jacob going to the museum, swimming and Funagins...all in all, a great time...
So here is the first installment of the photos and blog updates in reference to this trip...more to come....this covers the beach portion...we had a blast and honestly I can't say I have been this relaxed, happy or tan in years.
A photo of the 4 of us on our last night...I will cherish this week and these memories for a long, long time!

My fish! He loves the ocean as much as I do and I am thrilled about it!
