North and South Carolina

We took a trip this past week to see my brother in North Carolina. We traveled with my family as well as my mom's sister and her family. All together, there were 14 of us!


We watched Chris' soccer game in Charlotte on Saturday night at then drove 3 1/2 hours in the middle of the night to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We had a great time and were all exhausted by the time we came home! The highlight was definitely seeing Caleb at the beach...he absolutely LOVED the ocean (except when the saltwater got in his eyes) and couldn't get enough of playing in the sand. We had some challenging moments, but overall he was a great little traveler. Oh, and he LOVED all of the attention he got from everyone! :)


Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the houses in South Carolina! They are so beautiful, southern, and cute...every single house has shudders and window grids (without the garage sticking out in the front)! Why can't they build houses like that here???

This looks like such a fun trip! I'm glad Caleb did so well. Ori and I are flying next week and I'm nervous.

I love the houses out there too! They are so different from here and very pretty.

Glad you got to spend time with Chris!

Hi Jenae, I am sorry I am late in wishing you a happy anniversary. We need to catch up now that you are home. Also, I was thinking we could celebrate Kevin's birthday on Wednesday night. I am sorry to say I work Tuesday and Thursday and the entire weekend we will be moving and I have a wedding Friday night and Saturday during the day. I also need to get some ideas from you.
