Vacation 2007

Before our vacation is too far behind us...I wanted to post some more pictures. We had a wonderful week in Hilton Head with Pa, Ro Ro, Carl and Jaime. The weather was awesome - it was actually cooler at the beach than it was in Memphis! Not one drop of rain and we enjoyed every day. We had great food this year (like past year's as well). Mark and Mr. Noble played golf twice and had fun. We shopped a little, but not much because we all wanted to be on the beach! Ethan LOVED the water and playing in the sand and had no fear of the water at all. By the middle of the week he didn't even want his vest on in the pool and was doing quite well. Ethan and Nina both enjoyed having many arms to hold them all week. Ethan tried to move in on Jaime...but Carl wouldn't let him! We had many discussions about the upcoming wedding and we are all looking forward the big day. They have decided on a destination wedding - so now they are in the process of figuring out where - we're excited to have that vacation to look forward to in Spring/early Summer 2008!

Vacation is always such a nice time...coming home and unloading and getting back on schedules...well, that's a different story! We went back to Georgia on Saturday for Allie's 4th birthday party. That night we went to Papsitto's for my party with all our Georgia friends and had so much fun! We started our drive back to Memphis Monday night about 8:30 - and rolled into town around 2:30 (Central time) am....what a long night! We're going to try and go to Maryland in September with a stop in Newnan for the Fair. But for now, we're glad to be home!


So this picture might need a little explaining....this shovel (or "killer" as we all called it) was a purchase from a yard sale by Ro Ro...the sand is SO hard in Hilton Head so she thought this might make it easier to dig holes for our umbrellas, etc...she was even unsure of what Pa would say about hauling this "killer" to and from the beach, so she took it to Carl and Jaime's and had them bring it with them - although I'm not sure if they really knew it was in their car. The "killer" was the joke of the week for sure! It did dig a nice hole though! I think it was a prop from The Sopranos...I'm convinced it's killed a time or two! (Picture courtesy of Jaime)

I drove from Papasitto's back to Nona and Poppa's house....so we stopped at The Varsity!

Ethan LOVES to ride Poppa's tractor - and this trip has learned to start it all by himself!

These are pictures leaving GA heading back to Memphis! I don't think we could have put anything else in the truck with us....yes, that is a turtle sandbox in there!
