Visiting home: The Beach!

The night after the cookout at Dad's house, we piled into the car and headed off to Ocean City, MD for 4 fun filled days in the sun! I think its safe to say that we all had a blast...but of course, the time went by too quickly. This won't be a wordy post because hanging out by the beach is pretty self explanatory...so I'll just share some of my favorite pictures from the trip!

I love my little sister!

This picture just cracks me up! Brittni was trying to use her boogie board, but it was so windy that the board kept flying in the air like a kite. She could barely hang on to it!

Day 2...can't beat pool side drinks!

One afternoon Matt, Jeff and Brittni went on a little fishing expedition while Mom and I shopped and ate yummy snacks along the boardwalk.

Matt and Brittni all ready to set sail!

Ready to fish for the very first time!


In the evening, Mom, Matt, Brittni and I hung out on the beach for an hour. We flew kites and had fun acting a bit nutty!






The next day we woke up to a LOT of wind making it too cold to swim in the water or even lounge by the beach. So instead, we spent the afternoon on the boardwalk eating pizza and snacks and riding rides...

Out on the boardwalk

Brittni is a brave, little thing and she wanted to ride every single ride! Unfortunately for her, when you're the only kid among adults, its quite hard to find a willing participant to ride the whirly rides...so she had to go at them alone. She didn't seem to mind at all though and as these rides sped up (and they went SUPER fast) you could see absolute joy all over her face!



Why are we showing off our rings? Because we found the very spot we got engaged at 7 years ago! A lot has happened in the last 7 years...that's for sure!

Mom and her girls :)

Matt gave Brittni a little break from walking...

One final night of building sand castles and hanging out on the beach until the sunset.

Of course, all good things come to an end and the next morning we hit the road bright and early to get back home. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. It was fun to have so much time with family after being gone for so long!

Next up...a flight to TX!
