Memorial Weekend

I love summertime - even though it can be HOT, HOT. I enjoy being down at the beach, going fishing and just hanging out family. Memorial weekend always seems to kick-off summer and this year it went off with a bang! Not only did we celebrate all of the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to serving this wonderful country, but also my mom's 60th birthday.

My mom's brother, Alan and his wife Jolene; and her sister, Sharon along with her Daughter Stacy and granddaughter Lynleigh, came to visit. We all had so fun catching up, eating great food and of course, playing cards. (I didn't win, but it was still fun)

My Uncle Alan got a chance to reel in a big AJ on Saturday, as a few of us went offshore. It had to be one of the most beautiful days out on the water in a loooooooonnnnnng time. It was so flat and not a cloud in the sky.




Our catch
Had to sneak in a pic of the cutest littlest boy ever!

Weekend Roundup

There is only one word I can think of to describe this weekend, beautiful. I mean how awesome is it that I got a beach weekend in February - that is one reason why I love living in the sunshine state!!

My SIL, Holly and her husband Graham traveled to the beach this weekend too for a mini family reunion. We always have so much fun when we get together. Saturday was busy, but we fit everything in. We started out the day at the Gumbo Festival. It was so packed and note to anyone planning to go in the future, get there early. The festival started at 10 a.m. and by the time we finally got there at 11 a.m. most of the gumbo was all gone. But that was okay, it gave us an excuse to go to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch, Killer Seafood. My sister and Eli also drove over to the beach for the day, so even though we didn't get any gumbo it was great hang out with my sister for a bit and see a few friends I don't get to see that often.





After lunch, we headed to the beach. Mr. C and I couldn't wait to bring Mags to the beach for the first time.  She loved it. Mags wasn't too sure about the water, but I don't blame her, the water was freezing!  We ended the night at Reagan's for some delicious oysters. They were hmmm good.

This weekend was so relaxing and fun. I can't wait for summertime to get here, however, I know that mother nature probably has one more cold spurt for us before spring gets here!
