What One Does On Vacation

Filed under: Happenings — Joy @ 8:30 pm

We loaded up the car last week and headed for the beach for a little break from “normal”. We met up with my husbands family for a week of rest and togetherness and a wonderful time was had!

Now what would three ladies do on vacation…hit the outlets? Naaahh, we hit the fabric store! My sister-n-law found a great little quilt/cross stitch shop so three of us piled into the car and went with great anticipation.

They had a pretty good selection and I was excited to find that they had better prices than our local quilt shop. I of course could not resist a few of the finds! :)

After a busy afternoon of shopping at the quilt store how else would you unwind but with a game of Settlers of Catan! I think that we played three games during the week and I am very excited to report that I actually won one of the games! There was some fierce competition so I was pretty excited!

It was a great week of being with family, resting, enjoying the kiddos and a hubby who took the whole week off! We are very thankful for Brad’s parents invitation and getting to visit the beach for a bit. Sometimes it is quite nice to feel the sand between your toes, the wind on your face and hear the waves as they break!

Here is a peek of what I will be doing for the next few days to come! ;) Laundry laundry everywhere laundry!!! The trip was still worth it though! :)
