The Ocean is my Only Medication

Do you look forward to the Beach Trip Recap Post as much as I look forward to the actual vacation? No? Well, you should.

We boarded our flight on Friday morning, with the appropriate reading materials.

 Then packed and piled into cars for the drive down.

I soaked up every tree, every blade of grass, and every speck of green along the way to fuel my inner Virginian who misses these trees so very much.

 We made the necessary pit stops along the way. Honey Cinnamon Almonds? I can't even begin to describe how delicious they were. Two cans were purchased both are now gone.

 We made it to our destination and the vacation officially began. Grace is a huge fan of Uncle RyRy.

 Our view was obstructed by new beach house decor.

 We chatted

 I played around with my camera

 We frolicked in the sand before family pictures.

 We got rained out during family pictures

 We saw the most incredible rainbow

 And I finally got a picture of a sunset (take that Day 12)

 Ashby getting her crazy rainbow picture

 We lounged by the pool

 We read our little hearts out

 Kindles in full force

 The babies were happy and contained. I love my Lily.

 Beach umbrellas were rocked

 Good times were had

 Poppy was given a rapper name: P. Pops Anonymous, 

 Coozies (no I don't really know how to spell that) were purchased and loved

 Cousins were reunited

 And requested a funny face picture

 Lulu modeled

 Sand made its way everywhere

 We splashed in the pool

and walked through the sand

 And before we knew it, the week was over and we were driving north again.

Mr. Nutter was also there. Sister friend has a serious Mr. Nutter addiction.

 After a short nights rest we found ourselves at the airport

 With a ridiculous amount of carry on luggage

 and traveling essentials

 And we flew, on the wings of love, back to the lonestar state.

My mind on a permanent vacation

The ocean is my only medication

Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away
