myrtle beach & sweet family fun...

While it just seems as if we were enjoying Hilton Head Island at the beginning of summer, with a blink of an eye, our end-of-summer vacation with my family has already ended! What a FANTASTIC time we had spending time with my mother, my brother, Kent, his sweet girlfriend, Danielle, Andy's family, and a wealth of very special family-friends! Our trip couldn't have been sunnier! With many of our days spent on the beach in the perfect summer sun, our evenings were enjoyed at our favorite local restaurants such as "Duffys", "Rockafellers Oyster Raw Bar", "Steven's Oyster Roast", "The Carolina Roadhouse", "Captain George's" (too, too much food), "Hamburger Joes", and "Bimini's"!

While Andy enjoyed victories by day on the golf course with his brother and father, I enjoyed a "winning evening" of putt-putt with Andy, Kent, and Danielle! Followed by ice cream at Painters, Andy's favorite peach milkshake stop, the evening of mini-golf couldn't have been greater! Thanks, mom for a fun, fantastic, and fabulous beach vacation! We had a great week!

SPECIAL NOTE: While enjoying our vacation, our sweet puppy, Carmen, thoroughly enjoyed a week at "Nana and Papaw's Bed & Breakfast". Complete with specially prepared meals from Nana, Carmen feasted on salmon, grilled chicken, shrimp, scallops, and much to my dismay...turtle! I think Carmen ate as well as we did! What a blessing it is to have both of my grandparents and for them to watch over "our Carmen". Thanks, Nana & Papaw! We love and miss you both!
