Family Beach Vacation!

So, other than my wedding, I look forward to this week more than any out of the whole year! We have been going to the beach, ALL of us, since I was born! When I say all, I mean, my grandparents, my mom and dad, my sisters, me, Jared, my 4 aunts and uncles and 4 cousins, including their "significant other!!!" So it's pretty much at least 20 of us in one house, on top of each other for a whole week! But, I wouldn't have it any other way!!! We stay in Garden City, almost as far as you can go to the point, we don't like getting caught up in the "pier and arcade mess" if you will! Our days consist of laying on the beach from about 9:30 until 5 or 6, then we cook a nice BIG meal, usually grilled hamburgers, steak, or grilled and fried fish, and then a nice sunset boatride through the inlet. We don't get out much, usually the grocery store is as far as we go, with the occasional putt-putt night. This year, Gettys and I were the breakfast chef's, as we were up by about 8 every morning filling the house with the great aroma of bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, fresh fruit and muffins! Oh how we ate!! On our last morning, Friday, we take the annual trip down to Nibbles for their lovely breakfast, then back on the beach until we close it down late that afternoon! It's funny how life takes it's turns, as last year the girls, (me, momma, nanmomma, tanzy and vicki), were sitting on the beach talking about how we may be "planning" a wedding this time next summer (meaning this summer). Little did we know that Jared and I would be MARRIED before then!!! Needless to say, I love my life and I wouldn't change a thing!!!
