Beach trip 2015

Last week I traveled down to Cherry Grove, SC and met my friends for a beach vacation. I was thrilled to be going to the beach. My last beach trip was two years ago when I went to Ocean City, Maryland.

I was not looking forward to the six hour drive. It was long and I was over it by the second hour. I traveled down on Saturday evening so I could spend four days on the beach. It was dark when I arrived so the next morning when I woke up and saw our view I was in awe. I thought it was beautiful. It might not be the an oceanview but it was calm and relaxing.  

Our house was on a channel/sound. The lot had water all around it. We spent a lot of time at the house just relaxing and hanging out. 

The first day was spent around the pool and this was my view for most of the day. 

Harper wanted me to take her picture. 

 I love these sweet girls.

Winston, Jennifer's dog, enjoyed his time at the beach too.

We played a few games of cornhole.

Later on that night the kids went crabbing. 

Harper has no fear! 

The sunset. 

The next day we hung around the pool  for most of the day. This is also the day I got sunburned and my laying around the pool ended! I guess not being in sun for two years caught up with me. 

We decided to pack up and walk down to the beach. This was my only time seeing the ocean. I know I should be a little sad about that but I was in pain from my sunburn so it was perfectly fine with me. 

The girls enjoyed jumping waves

and Myles enjoyed playing in the sand!

The guys went and got some chicken for us and we had a sandy beach picnic. Hadley sat with me for a while and we just chilled. 

The whole crew

On Tuesday we stayed indoors for some putt-putt.

My friend, Sara Beth, made us tee shirts for the trip! So we decided that this would be the perfect day to match!

If you look at my arm in this picture you can see how red it is from the sunburn! 

A selfie with my Harper! Look how cute the elephant shirts turned out! Thanks Sara Beth! 

And look how cute this kid is.

On Wednesday I covered up head to toe in 50 sunscreen and a tee shirt and shorts to sit by the pool to watch these girls swim and read a book.

Hadley jumped off the side of the pool (without floaties) and was so proud of herself!

Kim and Sara Beth opted to stay out of the sun and go shopping! They found these cute rides for the kids to ride around on.

That night we got ready to do something fun! Go to the rides in Cherry Grove!

Sweet cousins

Since it was my last night I watched the sunset for one last time.

Friday Favorites

Just a few favorites from the past week.

These girls

When I visited NYC a few weeks ago I got these classic NY tees for the girls. I think they liked them.

Harper wanted to write some names for me. She wrote Harper, Hadley, Moe, Janet, and Mom.

Pretty girls

We got new spring Lilly at the shop. Alex and I decided to try on some of our favorites. I just wish it was warm enough to wear those shorts! 

Have a good weekend!

New York Weekend

Over the long weekend my friend Michele and I traveled to New York to visit our mutual friend Katelyn. Katelyn moved to Brooklyn about a year and half ago. We have been talking about going to see her since she moved. I'm so happy we decided to go. We had a blast!

 Next stop Brooklyn

 On Saturday morning we had breakfast and walked around Katelyn's neighborhood before heading to take a Pure Barre class. 

 I love this wall in the Pure Barre studio. 

This was Katelyn's 200th Pure Barre class!

I took this selfie and sent it to Hadley and Harper to let them see how cold it was on Saturday! It was so cold. 

On Saturday evening we traveled into New York City. Our first stop was the 9/11 memorial.

 Freedom Tower

 We visited Rockefeller Center.

 And saw the musical Matilda.

My Fitbit results for Saturday

 Sunday morning we woke up and it was pouring the rain! So we ran to a bagel shop and got some bagels!

 We ventured back into the city on Sunday afternoon to do some shopping and eat some New York Pizza.

I wanted to visit the Lilly store and when we got there it was closed!

 Oh well! Maybe next time!

We visited Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks

 Macy's

The Empire State Building

We had a great time visiting with Katelyn and Seth in Brooklyn for the weekend. They were so kind to let us stay at their apartment with them. We ate some great food and had some fun. I can't wait to go back!
