Vacation 2011 & 150th Post

I can't believe this will be my 150th post?! That's just crazy. I started this blog not knowing what I would do with it. In fact, I didn't tell a single person I even created it until several months after just because it was a touch and go process... Now 150 posts later and I'm still trucking along!

This vacation was a much needed one on my part. My last 5 straight days off were in March 2008 {aka: my honeymoon!} and since then I've only been off 3 days in a row back in October 2009 {when Brad and I went to Maggie Valley, NC}. I forgot how nice it feels to be "free"! Now, I'm already planning my next vacation! I just checked my last pay stub and found out I have three hundred and twenty six hours of paid time off built up?!?!?!

Wow, this is getting way off track! Anyway, here are some several pictures of our trip! I tried to narrow it down, but that's like me saying I'm not going to talk much :)



John Aaron & Chloe



"Lou" and some of her grandkids and great-grandchild.

The whole group: my mom, sister, niece, cousin, grandmother, me, and aunt!

John and his mom, Aunt Shelly

On the beach at 6:00am makes this girl happy!

Our other cousins came to visit! Dani Paige, John Aaron, Savannah Grace and Chloe... Yes, we are a double name type of family! :)

The kiddos again. The wind was nuts that day!

Mammy and Chloe outside our room

My sis, Courtney & her mini-me

Again, the wind was terrible, but we did the best we could!

Mama Lynn {Linda Lou is her name- I call her Lou} and her two daughters...

Miss Prissy Pot finally posed at the end!

They have a brother/sister relationship and it's too cute! They're both "only children" so it works out well for everyone :)

Sisters :)

Sunset is my favorite time!

Little stinker!

This was only a few of the ones I took. I must confess, I didn't edit, crop, correct anything {as if you couldn't tell!}. Way too busy and lazy for that mess. The ones I frame will be edited, but these are SOOC. Sorry people! Just imagine they look cleaner and crisper...
