Paul and I left as soon as we got home from work last Wednesday morning to go camping with his family and also attend a family reunion. We wound up leaving the house at 9am and after driving 3 1/2 hours arrived at our destination. We took our travel trailer and camped along side Paul's parents (Sandra & Cliff), Paul's grandparents (Grammy and Daddy Sonny), and Paul's aunt and uncle (Larry & Kay). We had a wonderful time relaxing, visiting, and everything else camping entails.
Wednesday we basically just set up our temporary home and sat around visiting with everyone.
Thursday Paul and his dad were off to play golf while Sandra and I went shopping. After that activity in the morning it was nothing but rest and relaxation in the afternoon. I did some scrapbooking while the other ladies knitted and played cards. They guys were doing "manly" things like watching action movies, playing Playstation, and whining about when the next meal would be.
Friday was another day of the same except later in the afternoon the girls had "beauty hour". Kay did all our toenails even getting artistic and painting flowers on our big toes. We were definitely stylin'
Saturday we went to the family reunion and saw tons of relatives and did alot of catching up.
Sunday was the day to pack up and come home and make our plans for next year's reunion. It should be way different having a little one around next year!!
So that was our weekend, nothing terribly exciting. Lots of eating, lots of resting, lost of visiting, and lots of family. It may sound a bit boring but 4 days of practically no commitments, no deadlines, no phones ringing constantly, no makeup, no hair fixing. IT WAS GREAT!!!!
Larry and Kay bright-eyed and ready for breakfast.
Sandra, Paul, and Cliff waiting for breakfast to be done. Isn't it great that you can go around in your robe and not even care?
Even Rowdy got some relaxing time in on the trip.
3 generations of our branch at the family reunion. Grammy, Sandra, and Paul. Hopefully next year we can add Avery to the picture.
Kay slaving away painting and decorating Grammy's toes. What ya'll don't do pedicures when your camping?
The final products. Feet shots are not really that flattering.
So we were back to work Monday and thankfully it was a short week. We leave tomorrow to go to Baltimore for Morgan's cheerleading competition. We are planning to have a day in Washington DC and a day in New York City. This little getaway will definitely be alot different that last weeks. No relaxation this time.
Hope everyone else has a great week and has an even better weekend.
