Vacation

  • **Hello Monday** {1.8.2024}

    Hey friends!!! I’m baaaack!!! I had a wonderful two weeks off and am ready to get back into a routine. It helps me in all aspects of my life even though I can appreciate some lounging around time. 😉  Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend and beginning of our New Year . The day after Christmas, Joey, Addison, and I went on a little getaway to North Carolina. I will share all about our trip in a later post.  We got back home late on December 30th. On New Years Eve, we went to Costco and got a new TV for…

  • **Hello Monday** Thanksgiving Break Recap {11.27.2023}

    Happy Monday friends!! I am back and rested and had a wonderful week off with family and friends!  Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend and Thanksgiving break.  Friday, a week ago, we left straight from school and work and headed north to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We arrived around 8 and were eager to get settled in and relax before a busy, fun weekend.  We woke up early Saturday morning to beautiful mountains from our balcony.  We got ready and headed to breakfast.  We killed some time by going into Three Bears General store. We were waiting for our friends to arrive. …

  • **Vacation Recap Fall Break J. Beach** {10.4.2023}

    A couple weeks ago we had a week off for our Fall Break. That seems like a lifetime ago even though it was only two weeks. We headed to Florida to visit family and enjoy some beach time as well. My parents and I all went together with our campers. We left early Saturday morning. I felt like we were having a little de’ja vu because we were only about 30 minutes from home, in downtown Atlanta, in the dark, when one of Dad’s camper tires blew. So, they were scrunched against the wall with a lot of traffic flying by, in the dark. It was a little nerve racking.…

  • **Destin Vacation 2023** {7.26.2023}

    Side note: So, since starting back to school/work this week, I obviously have lost track of the dates. I will plan to share my What’s up Wednesday post next week. So, be sure to come back here then for that. 😉  Today, I’m doing a recap of our most recent vacation. I’ll warn you, today’s post is long because I’m trying to do it all in one post. So, settle in and grab an iced coffee.  We went to Miramar Beach, Florida which is just a couple miles from Destin, if you’re familiar.  We left fairly early on a Wednesday morning headed south. If you’re familiar with Atlanta traffic, you…

  • **Myrtle Beach Vacation 2023** {7.5.2023}

    Hey Hey Friends!! It’s already Wednesday!! I can’t believe July 4th is already over. As a teacher, once the 4th of July is past, I feel like our summer is over! 🙁  But today, I’m sharing a recap of our vacation in June.  We have camped at the same place, Myrtle Beach Travel Park, since I was about 2 years old. Growing up, we went every year and met lots of other families every summer at the same time. It was great growing up together!  So, since my parents still continue to go, we try to go with them at least one week. We left June 18th and headed that…

  • **Hello Monday** {6.26.2023}

    Hello Friends!!  Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday. Today’s post is going to be short and sweet because we didn’t get back from vacation until late last night. I was busy unpacking, organizing things to wash, and putting things away. So sorry, but I don’t have the full recap today.  I’m off to start the mountain of laundry. Here’s a little sneak from our trip last week. We had such a wonderful time with family!  I will be back on Wednesday for a What’s up Wednesday link-up. 🙂  xo Thank you to Amazon and Collective Voice for sponsoring this post!

  • **Spring Break Recap ~ The Outer Banks** Part II {5.3.2023}

    Happy Happy Wednesday Friends!! Today I’m sharing the second part of our Spring Break vacation. I’m finally getting to it. 😉 Settle in because I’m planning to finish it all in this post.  If you missed Part I, check it out here.  Monday morning we were awake to chilly but sunny weather. This day we had plans to go north up the coast to Corolla to see the wild horses.  We left about 11 to head that way. We stopped by a few shops in the cute little town of Duck, NC, on the way up.  We used Corolla Jeep Tours, and we were very pleased with everything. We had…

  • **Spring Break Recap ~ The Outerbanks** Part I {4.19.2023}

    A couple weeks back was our Spring Break, and we decided to go somewhere different. We chose the Outerbanks because none of us had been there. None of us anticipated the distance to this location. Haha!  We started our journey on Friday, after school, about 5:00.  We made a pit stop and grabbed Addison some more snacks. LOL We ended up stopping to sleep just north of Charlotte about 11:30 that night. Our room was very nice and cozy.  The next morning, we were up bright and early, ate breakfast, then started back on the road. We were excited when we finally saw water. This was crossing the bridge, over…

  • **Hello Monday & Easter Weekend!** {4.10.2023}

    Well, our Spring Break week flew by as usual. And now we are on the countdown to Summer break! 😉  Like the usual, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Addison and I got home late Thursday night, we unpacked and were in bed pretty early. We were exhausted! I will share our trip recap on another post.  Friday morning, we were up early. Joey was off work for Good Friday, and Michael came over to help get started on the outdoor patio. They made a lot of great progress!  My Dad came over to help supervise and hand them a board or…

  • **Disney Vacation Days 4 & 5** {3.22.2023}

    Hi guys! How is your week going? Today, I’m sharing days 4 & 5 of our Disney vacation. We were at Epcot and then had an off day.   Check the recap of days 1 & 2  here.  Read all about day 3 at MK here.  Joey was slowly feeling a little better. He didn’t get up as early to go to Epcot as we did. But, he planned to meet up with us a little later. We started off early at the bus pick up.  Addison & I arrived at Epcot and snapped a few pictures before Penny, Cindy, and Adalynn met up with us. Epcot is a favorite park. I…
