"OneSweetWorld": June 2012

So our annual Beach Trip has come and gone but "Oh What Fun" we had! This year we took our niece Madison and Aidan went on his very first deep sea fishing trip. Madison was pure joy to have with us and was so helpful with our bizzy body who shall remain nameless (but its Clara Kate)! I hope she will make it a new tradition herself and join us every year. Our first day was mainly driving, lunch at Oyster House and Walmart trip. Ended with a birthday dinner for Juju; her favorite boiled shrimp and potatoes. Day 2 was a beautiful day at the islands. The water was incredible and the kids loved snorkeling. They found hermit crabs and Big Al even found some clams. Grand finale was the dolphin show right in front of our boat. Then back to the condo so the babies could rest and the big kids played on the water slide and floated around the lazy river. And by big kids I'm including myself! Day 3 was just about the same back and forth between the islands and the condo and day 4 was the big fishing trip. Aidan was beyond excited for such a big boy trip! So on Sunday morning Al, Kevin, Hayes and Aidan packed up their sandwhiches and chips and left for the boat that our friend Sonny recommended. On return they had a million stories about the sharks they saw, the fish they caught and how they couldn't wait to go back next year! I was so proud of Aidan and of his daddy for the patience he has and the quality time he spends with our sweet boy! The 5th day was a special day of remembrance and celebration of all the many men and women who have died while serving and protecting our precious USofA! Breakfast came first with a boat trip to Tacky Jacks and a wait of and hour for our table and an hour for our food. By the time we left breakfast had come and gone and lunch was in full swing but we were on vacation so Que Sera, Sera. Off to the islands to enjoy our last day of a perfect vacation. Going home day was in full swing slinging suitcases, washing dishes and cleaning out the fridge while the cleaning ladies patiently waited for us to depart HaHa. Lunch was at Bahama Bobs (my favorite) with Juju, Madison, CK and sweet Jace. The boys took off for home and we were left with no other option than to shop till we dropped and that we did! Back home close to midnight to a house with a broken A/C. Thank goodness the upstairs unit was working so off to bed we went ending what had to be the Perfect Vacation!
