Myrtle Beach Trip with the Church family June

Josh and I joined the Church family for a fun few days at Myrtle Beach this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. The boys LOVE Josh ... can you blame them? :)

Here are a bunch of pictures to show you the fun:

End of Day #1 ... little bit of sunburn but we're alright!

Last day on the beach - Mike found crabs and grossed us out a bit

Hanging out under our new umbrella - it's fantastic!

Savannah loved this ride (if you can find her in the pic)

Baby Wyatt just hanging out :)

Hurricane reenactment 

It was a very busy but fun few days. It was great catching up with some friends and loving on their children. All four kiddos have distinct personalities and are fun to be around. Can't wait to do this again!

What am I running for? Well, we had a great key lime pie from Duffy Street Seafood Shack our first night there ... and it was good for days since we bought a whole pie! Plus the "Vanna White" ice cream, Mike's delish quesadillas and dinner from Key West Grill. Great food and even better fellowship! Laying out on the beach counts as exercise, right?

Jeremy, Heather, and Boston Visit May 2013

Jeremy, Heather, and Boston came to town for a visit and we did lots of fun stuff! We went to Bass Pro shops, Short Pump mall, Genghis Grill, Hobby Lobby, Johnny Rockets, Maymont, and Chipotle. Heather and I also played Bingo twice and Josh and Jeremy went to see Iron Man 3. All in all - not to bad of a visit! Here are some pics of the fun:

At Bass Pro 

Boston: Riding around the neighborhood, having fun in Hobby Lobby, and asleep on the way home from Maymont.

Boston and Josh saying bye for now.

Bingo night #1 - American Legion

Bingo night #2 - VFW

The first night of Bingo we were bored as we didn't have enough cards and the second night we were overwhelmed. We know what we are doing now. Next time, they better watch out! On the lookout for a sexy bingo bag now :)

What am I running for? Well, I did have a brownie sundae from Bruster's which had chocolate peanut butter buckeye ice cream - delish! I probably need to run an extra 1/2 marathon for that sundae alone ...

Aloha!

We did it! We actually went to Hawaii in 2012 to celebrate our 5 year anniversary!

The trip took us 16 hours to get there. We enjoyed 5 wonderful days in lovely Maui. Then, the trip back started ... it was long and took more than 16 hours due to storms in Dallas, TX but we eventually made it home. It was a fantastic beautiful trip that I will remember forever. I am so thankful that I was able to spend this time with my wonderful Trophyhus! Thank You Lord for putting us together and blessing us with these memories!

Ok, so here are some pictures. We took over 1800 but no worries, I didn't share them all!

Boarding the plane in Richmond on our long trip to Maui - so excited and fresh!

Josh loved driving the convertible all week ...

I enjoyed playing with my Father-in-Law's fancy camera. I'd love to have one of these, hint, hint.

The landscapes were gorgeous!

  The aquarium was very cool. I'm sitting in a tunnel and there are fish right over my head!

 We enjoyed some Hawaiin Shaved ice :)

 This is a picture of the resort we stayed at - three pools with ocean views. Very nice!

It's not too hard to wake up to this view everyday.

 The coast line was amazing!

 I felt like the Litte Mermaid ...without the fins ...

Even the McDonald's trash cans were Hawaain - Mahalo! 

 Even the restroom signs were cute (not at McD's).

 Palm trees everywhere!

 The sunsets ..

Fun in the hammock.

 Josh was afraid he'd get a little burnt so he wanted to cover up.

Luau 

 It took a while to get this picture right but it was fun trying. 

We saw a rainbow every day that we were on the island. They were just hard to capture.

Ahh ... paradise!

 

I was reminded this week that I am supposed to be running ... so tonight, I ran! I ran to get out som frustration and for a York Peppermint Patty ice cream bar. It was delish!

Aloha!
