Beach Trip 2013 in Photos

Today is my last official day of summer break.  I'm not sad really, but I do feel extra lazy and simultaneously feel the nagging to actually DO some of the things I've put off for the last two months.  In reality, I will probably take Sam to the new science museum in town, eat lunch out, and maybe fold a load of laundry or two.  #IhaveuntilSundaytopanic

Anyway, what better way to honor the end of an amazing summer than to share some photos from one of the biggest highlights - our family beach trip to Seabrook Island, SC. 

This year was extra special because Jeff and I were able to spend the week with BOTH sets of our parents, and Sam was 100% spoiled by all FOUR grandparents...  When I told people all seven of us were staying in one house, they looked at me like I was totally crazy; but, I knew it would be wonderful - and it WAS...

Sam ADORED everything about the beach and seeing it through his eyes and watching the joy of his grandparents getting to experience it with him was absolutely PRICELESS.  One of the best vacations we've ever had.

Alright, I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking --




I think it's pretty obvious who ran this show! ;)

- BIG thanks to our family friends, the Thompsons, for sharing their BEAUTIFUL home with us!

- Sam's adorable anchor outfit is from Lil Sweetie Designs.  Thanks Cameron!!

Already dreaming about next year...

  6. I love summer beach vacays! Your pictures are too cute. We always spend a week in OBX and the year we got married down their our ENTIRE family both sides joined us for a week of sand and sun and it was the BEST! Tonight we are going to BBQ at my in laws and my parents and brothers are going, I love having both sides of the family so close.
    Happy last day of summer break. I still get so nervous the night before school starts and I always stress about my outfit. Let us know what you wear to the first day ... I need some inspiration...
