Beach with Nanny and Georgia





Nanny wanted to pay for Richard and me to go on a trip for my 40th birthday.  I decided that I would rather us go on a trip as a family.  Myrtle Beach is about the same distance for us and Nanny so we decided on a condo in North Myrtle.  We have had such a wonderful and relaxing vacation.  

Georgia came down for a few days.  Georgia talked Kamdyn, Karcie, and I into a banana boat ride (photos coming soon).  It ended up being fun, but Karcie cried at first. Georgia also brought Matilda, the crazy scary mask that you see the girls wearing.  Matilda keeps showing up in the craziest places scaring us all half to death.  Karcie woke us up with Matilda the other morning.  

We went down to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk one afternoon.  We played some fun arcade games.  Who knew that Nanny was a Skee Ball champ?

Richard and I got to visit with one of my dear Jazzercise friends and her husband who have a gorgeous beach house here at Myrtle Beach.  It was so fun catching up with them.

We ate a lot of delicious food, spent a lot of time on the beach, at the pool, and at the lazy river.  We also spent a lot of time just relaxing and hanging out in the condo.  

We also witnessed a gorgeous double rainbow one evening.  How can this world be so screwed up with such beautiful reminders from God that can be seen around us each and every day?  I truly do not get it.  

Love everyone.  Be kind.  Extend grace.  Accept differences.












For Georgia and Karcie!  Our favorite lefties!!


We had to buy sweatshirts because Nanny kept the condo so freezing!
