July Gettaway #2—Chincoteague, Virginia

So, this second gettaway was kind of a crazy adventure.  Jack had to go out of town for work for almost two weeks.  He thought that it would be fun if I joined him out there for a few days because he just happened to be staying on this beautiful island off the coast of Virginia.  The only problem was that he would be working some of the time—so we talked about it and decided to let Angie come with me and Savannah so I would have a buddy while he was working.  So I got to take my oldest and youngest daughters on a gettaway for a few days while my super mom and sister helped with the other kids. 


Here they are hanging out in our hotel room together.  I just LOVE Savannah’s expression here.

Savannah kept being so darned cute in the hotel so we just kept taking pictures of her.

This island is GORGEOUS…beaches, green everywhere…and wild ponies live there.

Angie got to catch some crabs!  But we didn’t eat these ones:)

We found out that the best and least crowded beach on was only bike and hike accessible…so Jack had this idea to put Savannah’s car seat on a bike trailer—and it worked of course like all his crazy ideas do.  And it was so fun and so nice to go to this beautiful beach—so glad I married him.:)102_0822 102_0828 102_0831 102_0818

We did more stuff too, but I have got fold some laundry so that’s all for now on this gettaway. 

July Gettaway #1—Eagar on the Fourth!

In case you haven’t noticed (those of you that live here) it is pretty HOT!  So, yeah, we tend to get out of this place in July every summer.  I find that I can handle the heat much better if I know that I am leaving it.  So, one tradition we have is to always go to Eagar for the 4th.

 

It’s a great place to relax…outside…and not have to be wet!

And it’s also an excuse to dress up cute babies in red, white and blue.

Gettaway number one was definitely a success!
