Almost a month since we last posted! William and I have been SO busy with getting his summer research off the ground (which he loves) and all sorts of other things that the blog just took a back seat. We had some time off for the 4th of July so we were able to do some traveling and just relax. We went home friday when William got off and we had a good time just catching up with my parents. Saturday we ran several errands, went to the Farmer's Market with my parents, and grilled out a wonderful dinner. Sunday we got up early and headed to the beach for the day. We also took Charleigh and she LOVES the beach! We drove to Carolina beach and took the ferry at fort fisher. William and I had never done it so it was weird to be on a boat with cars!
We drove through southport and over to Oak Island where we went out on the beach for a few hours. William and I don't mind swimming in the ocean but once we saw a big old jellyfish swimming beside us we were done! I have never exited the ocean that fast...LOL.We left the beach to go back home and we all got showers and went out to eat. It was great to get away for the day and we all slept SO well that night.
Monday we slept in and William and I went to meet some of our friends for lunch. Corey and I went to middle school, high school, and college together and her husband Zach is in medical school. They just spent two years living in the Grand Cayman islands and Zach just took the big test that William will take next year. It was SO good to share the same stories, zach and william relating as med school students, and Corey and I as the wives of those students which is fun but challening! I wish we were all in the same place...maybe someday in the future!
Once we left them we did a little shopping and visited with my grandma for a while. We went to dinner with my parents and immediately got sad knowing the we would have to leave. We're back in Winston now, getting settled back in to everyday life but we had a great few days away!
Hope everyone has a great week!
It was so good to catch up. We need to plan another outing soon!
