Oh yeah....vacation. Now that school has started, I really miss vacation. We left Savannah and headed to Jacksonville to see my parents. There was a lot of moving around in the first part of our trip. After the one night at my parent's house we left for the beach. The beach is where the big event was going to take place.
One of my good friends recently relocated from Conn to Florida. We were able to slip in some visiting time with them. The boys really enjoy her daughter's company. They got a little swimming in also.
We were able to spend a lot of time at the beach. I have to say the kids were exhausted during our stay. We were here and there and everywhere.
My sister rented a large house (beautiful) on the beach where she would hold her exchanging of vows and then have a cocktail party to celebrate. Only family was invited to the exchange of vows.
On the wedding night, we got there a little early to help the bride get dressed. Us ladies were freaking out a little bit when the zipper broke on my sister's dress. We worked at it for so long. We ended up having to sew her in literally. It ended up working out but boy was it stressful.
My sister was walked up the steps by her son.
It is not that he wasn't interested but he was exhausted. Too much fun in the sun.
The happy couple!
My family. It was nice to have us all together.
Sisters!
The husband and the kids ended up leaving the festivities early. It had been a long few nights. I got to stay and play.
I definitely did NOT take enough pictures. What was I thinking. I had my camera. I didn't take any pictures of the kids with the grandparents. The kids were with cousins and I have no proof. Frustrating.
It is always fun to be with my family. It is a big bummer that we live so far away from them all. But it does make the times we are together more special.
We left on Sunday for the last stop on our vacation.
