Vacation

My mini-vacation last week was much needed!

I will post some pictures from it...

On Wednesday I spent the day with Mom, Karmen, Ava, and Nanny. We met up with our friend Amanda and her two little boys Cody and Rowdy at the mall to have pictures with the Easter Bunny. We went to lunch and we shopped and then spent the rest of the day hanging out.

Thursday we went up to Georgia to visit Brenda and Jimmy. I had not been up there since their house burned down. (I forgot to mention this in the last update so I will elaborate in a minute.) We went to the old house, their rental house, and their new house. We also got to visit with Patsy and Guy (Brenda's sister and her husband). We made a stop at Panorama Apples so we could all get some fried apple pies. We also went to see Tyler and Caty. It was a busy day but it was great to see everyone!

Ok, Brenda and Jimmy's house. Nanny went up there to visit them after Christmas. On January 2 I believe, Nanny Brenda and Jimmy all got in the car to go ride around and look at the snow. They got a call from someone wanting to know if they were at home (luckily they weren't) when they got back to the house it was gone! EVERYTHING! Mom and Karmen had to make an emergency trip to Georgia to get Nanny and bring her home. They lost everything and everything that my Nanny took up there was destroyed too, including a necklace that my grand dad had bought for her. Anyways, Brenda and Jimmy decided not to rebuild and are looking to sell the foundation (that is all that is left) and the 11 acres.

Ok, now to Friday. Me, Zach, his mom and dad, and his aunt all drove down to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach to find the house that we are staying in this year to make sure it is on the beach. When we pulled it up on mapquest the house was not on the beach. But when we got down there the house IS on the beach. We drove down to Florida so they could get lottery tickets and then we went out on the beach. It was chilly but beautiful! We ate at The Original Oyster House, my favorite!!! We came home that day, two days of riding in the car will wear you out!

Saturday morning we got up to go to Nanny's and dye Easter eggs. Since we were born Karmen and I have dyed eggs with Nanny so now that we are married and Karmen has a baby we are continuing the tradition of going to Nanny's.

Sunday we had Easter lunch at Nanny Dixon's and dinner with Zach's family.

The week is half way over now (thanks goodness) and I plan on doing absolutely nothing this weekend!

Have a fabulous rest of the week.
