I spent Labor Day weekend in Ft. Walton Beach with James' family. Lucky for me, one of his sisters lives there! :) It was a perfect weekend. I took quite a few pictures, but unfortunately, my camera battery died towards the end of the trip (JR's response to this: "thank goodness"...I didn't really appreciate that). :)
Here are the highlights of the trip:
1. meeting the family! I met his parents, 2 sisters, and their husbands.
The girls
James' sisters, Laura and Mary Martha, and me.
The boys
Laura's husband Jeff, MM's husband Don, and James
2. playing American Idol on Playstation. (or maybe it was the wii...I don't know...it's all the same to me).
Mary Martha was an expert at this game. I, however, was practically voted off by Simon and Randy. Bummer.
Here we are looking like professional singers, right? 3. Fabulous Food. I gained approximately 8 pounds while I was there, but it was so worth it.
Laura and Jeff are fantastic cooks and they treated us right! :) We also ate out at Anglers one night while we were there. I ate some of the best shrimp of my life.
Diet starts today.
4. Spending time at the beach! We didn't do much "laying out" at the beach, which is great in my book because that meant no bathing suit. Most of the time spent there was at night, which is my most favorite time to spend at the beach. We all went one night and
MM's husband, Don, brought his guitar. So fun.
Jeff, Laura, James, and me at the beach one night.
5. Playing "Bolo" on the beach. Ever heard of it? Quite addictive I must say. We played boys vs. girls. No comment on the winner. :(
JR was so intense and slightly competitive at Bolo.
6. Playing Taboo with the family. Again, this was another highly competitive game which was also boys vs. girls. I'll be happy to discuss who won THAT game. :)
7. Much needed R & R. I was able to get A LOT of great sleep while I was there. It felt so good.
Needless to say, coming back yesterday and heading back to work today was not fun for me. One more day would have been so nice. However, it was great to be back to see my little Max, who stayed with my parents for the weekend. It was the longest amount of time that I've left him. He sure was glad to see his mommy! :)
Here are some more pictures taken from the weekend.
I hope you had a great Labor Day. At least it's a 4 day week right?
JR was so intense and slightly competitive at Bolo.
