Summer Vacation 2015

Our family vacation to Hilton Head! 7 years straight! We love it!

California

At the beginning of August, right when school started, Billy and I had the chance to go to California for the week. I got my kids up on the first day of school, got them ready, put them on the bus and then said see ya in a week! Thankfully no one was going to Kindergarten because that would have been terrible to send them to school for the first time and I'm not there but they weren't so I didn't feel too guilty about it. :) Anyway, back to California…Billy did really well last year selling insurance and so he earned a trip Orange County, California. We were excited to explore more of CA plus we got to see our friends! We took a day and went to Universal Studios, we went whale watching one morning (but we didn't see any whales), we met up with two sets of friends and got to hang out with their families, we got to sleep in and oh, we got to see Aerosmith! Front row seats! Pretty cool!

Here are a few pictures from the week:

This was at Universal

We started watching "Parenthood" this summer and have caught up to the current season.  We were excited to see Adam and Kristina Braverman's house!

This was the city hall in "Back To the Furture." They took the clock off for another movie.

 The waves are HUGE on the west coast! And the water is freezing! I'll stick to the Atlantic.

Our sweet friends and their babies…

 More friends…so good to see them again! We knew both of these guys before they were married. Fun to see how much life has changed for them!

10 Years

Last year was our 10th anniversary! I know and I'm just now blogging about it! We decided to do something fun and different. We flew to Seattle spent a few days and then rented a car and drove down the coast to Los Angeles. It was beautiful! A little chilly which I was not expecting in July (yes our anniversary is in November but we celebrated early to have good weather). We loved stopping in little towns and seeing the country. It was just gorgeous on the coast. 10 days was not nearly enough time but we had to fit it in. We also got to see some good friends from our time in Istanbul and that was really nice to catch up and see them in a different setting. Anyway, hard to believe it has been ten years. Blessed and thankful to be on the journey together!
