Random Things

Brian and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary without much fanfare. I am actually still logged on to work to post some last minute additions for a customer. Where has the romance gone? hehe...Brian bought me some beautiful flowers and I put them in the biggest vase I could find. :-)

We went to South Carolina for the 4th and had a great time. Katie was so excited to see Brian's friends little girls that she was just a little wiggle pants in the van during the whole drive. We made great time and got there just in time for pizza. MMMmmm...we got to meet some of Brian's buddies' family members. Always fun to meet new people!!

We had lots of food, drinks and fireworks on the 4th until it started to rain. Bummer!!! A couple of the fireworks went a little crazy, but overall it was a great show! The lightning in the background certainly added a special flare...

We headed over to Myrtle Beach on Saturday and got some sand and seashells. The beaches there are much different than here. The sand just isn't white and soft like flour. Nope. It's exactly the way I thought all sand was until I moved here. We didn't stay too long because the kids were hungry and tired from the previous day so we headed out after about an hour and a half. What I want to know is...is it customary to just drop your drawers and pee into the ocean in front of hundreds of people?? We were almost directly in front of the life guard stand and this little boy (with his grandmother, I believe) dropped his suit right at the edge of the water in front of everyone and peed. Not that I was shocked, but come on! Please try not to be so obvious when you are making the water warmer. Yuck. Maybe I am a little naive...

We drove home on Sunday and stopped to stretch our legs at the outlet mall in Darien, GA. I picked up a bunch of stuff from Bath and Body Works and we grabbed a few things at the Gap. It was too hot to do too much strolling around, but it was a nice break from the van.
