Vacation with the Links

We have just arrived home in Midlothian from a week-long vacation in North Carolina. Boy was the change of scenery needed! Early the morning after Valerie and Alex's wedding, Jeremiah and I hopped in the car to embark on our vacation with his immediate family at North Topsail Beach, NC. We stayed in the same condo we were in last year, which is a great place right on the beach with a lovely pool and a beautiful view of the ocean. 

For the most part we had great weather, although Monday was a total washout. Have no fear, we had plenty to occupy ourselves with, especially since we had brought Killer Bunnies. This is a great game that was introduced to us by Greg and Elise. Google it for more information and definitely go buy it at Barnes & Noble. 

In addition to getting a pretty fabulous tan, I am rather proud to say that I actually finished an entire (long!) book while on vacation. My Sister's Keeper (think the movie that's in theaters now) is an incredible book, and it's a quick read. I would also like to brag about my killer Ladderball skills on the beach; however, please take note never to attempt to play that game in extreme windy conditions. Talk about a quick self-esteem killer.

So yes, we had great fun sun-bathing the week away. We ended the trip with a visit from a few extended family members and then after checking out yesterday we headed to Holden Beach to reunite with Jeremiah's grandparents and a whole slew of Links down that way. It was good to see everyone since we don't get to very often, and I even had the chance to meet some cousins and such that weren't able to come to our wedding. Good times.
