When they took baby Beau home we went "explorin"...cousin Tammy and family rent a house out here and LOVE to vacation here so we thought we would check it out..It was a nasty, yucky day with a storm getting ready to blow in, but we wanted to see what we could before it got here...we found a fort at one end that was on the opposite side of the civil war as the other fort..we didn't go in bcuz it was $8.00 and we knew the storm was gonna blow in and it would be a waste of time...we stopped at a little public road side area to get the kids out and let them see the ocean...We didn't get off into the sand bcuz it was muddy, but they got to see it...We picked up a shell for Keira's treasure box..
Did I explain what that was?
I made a tupperware box for Keira to collect treasures in..every place we stopped we would pick something up and put it in the box, that way she had reminders of all the places she went...we wrote down in a journal in it what she got and where...there wasn't alot this time around, but it's something I wanted to start bcuz hopefully we will be taking more family trips like this..
Anyway, back to the story..
We headed to the other side of the island to see if we could find the house that Tammy rents..no such luck and we headed home...We stopped at Shannon and Kellie's to visit, but the storm had come in and it was BAD..so bad that Shane was having a hard time seeing the road to drive..so we made the decision that he would just run in and get our stuff and hug everyone for all of us..i didn't want to get the kids out in that mess and we wanted to head back to the hotel before it got really bad...So we didnt' get one last hug from the family and little "squeaker", but Shane did...we headed to the hotel and it was kinda scary..the road had started flooding and it was pretty hard to see anything..if we didn't have the gps, we would've had no idea where we were going..we made it and had a pretty bad dinner in the hotel lobby/lounge/bar area...at least the kids ate and Shane and I got to have an ice cold beer..lol..Up to the room to play, pack and get some sleep for the drive home...ahhhhhh a whirlwind day
