Part 2....Bethany Beach

Day 2 thru Day 5 were spent at the ocean....in pure relaxation...it was heaven!  What a much needed trip for me....for our family! Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us stay at your lovely home!  It made it so nice!  We shopped for school- shoes and a few clothing items, ate WAY too much chocolate from Candy Kitchen (this place is SO addicting!!!) and ice cream (from Hockers- the best BIGGEST banana splits you have EVER seen) and too many boardwalk fries (need I say more ;) ) , rode the scooters every evening, concerts on the beach boardwalk, nature walks with a fun animal farm inside with turtles, horseshoe crabs, birds, insects gallore....just to name a few!
Day 6 was spent driving back to my sisters for lunch and several hours of chatting, games, and a huge rain storm....and then we had to say goodbye until next time and came back to pick up Lucky and come home!  Lots of memories.....

Here are a few pics....

Vacation...Part 1

So this year we actually did it! We made it to the Statue of Liberty....and we had a blast! We visited Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty....was a gorgeous day it was- sunny, warm, nice breeze with the water! Lots of fun memories! Here are a few pics.... of Day 1 of our trip...

Fun Day....

My work does a fun day each year at a local Caverns here in VA! It is so marvelous! This year was the best yet, in my opinion! Best food, hands down- it was catered! AND all the family was there from my side except my brother-in-law! The kids LOVED it!!! We did the Cavern tour, then lunch, "the jumpies", ice cream, pony rides, rock climbing wall, cotton candy, kettle corn, more "jumpies", swimming, mini-golfing, more ice cream! WE WERE POOPED at the end of our day, but it was so fun! Here are a few pics of the day....
