We had great weather at the beach, which was awesome considering that we're had some bad luck the past few years with rain while at the beach. Especially last year, when it rained EVERY day but one! That's right, EVERY day but one. As in, no beach time whatsoever on those days. But this year we lucked out, so we were able to spend our days lounged out on the beach and our nights lounged out in the condo. Ahhhh, the relaxation!
Not to mention that we stayed in the nicest condo that we've ever stayed in this year. Marble counter tops, stainless steel appliances, tile floors, tile showers, wall mounted flat screen TVs in every room.... I could go on and on. Here is a pic of our place from the beach. We are on the 2nd floor (but it's the first floor that you can see from this pic), all the way to the right.
Some other beach pics...
Baby bump in full view!
The fam getting ready for dinner....
It was a great week, and I look forward to our family beach vacations all year. So much so that I'm already planning for next year. Although next year will be slightly different. We'll have an infant and possibly a dog in tow.....Yeah, just slightly different, right? I'll look back and smile at these pics of our relaxing days on the beach.
So, Tina and I left OC on Friday evening and headed back to her place in Philly so that we could get an early start on Saturday morning to PSU for her big bachelorette party! It was such a blast and my sister has some really great friends. Everyone made the day so special for her!
It started with the matching T-shirts (that were obviously a surprise to her!)
Then we opened some presents...
And we all got ready to head out!
Had to get some pics on the Nittany Lion!
We finally all pulled ourselves together...
Queen Tean!
From here we headed to dinner at the Allen Street Grill and then we hit up the bars. It was really fun (even sober!) and we all had a blast dancing the night away! It was by far the cheapest bar night I've ever had, ha ha! "I'll have a water please...yup another water."
The start of the night...
And the end of the night...
I was carrying Tina's camera and my own while we were out, so I took most of the pics with her camera. But I did manage to get a few! Then on Sunday morning we had the obligatory Waffle Shop (not to be confused with the Waffle House, ewww) breakfast and headed to Hollidaysburg to pick up Daisy dog and then back to Philly to re coop. We met the boys back in Philly after their bachelor party weekend in Dewey Beach. From the way it sounds, they managed to have fun without us :)
A busy week, yes, but a great week spent with my favorite people!
Today is my sister's church wedding day and I've been thinking about her and wishing I was there all day. So, their real wedding is next weekend, and it will take place at the Top of the Tower in Philly, but J really wanted to get married in a church, so they had another ceremony today in a church in his hometown. Tina sent me a pic and they look soooo happy; I wanted to cry I wish I was there so bad! But I have to work the next few days so that I can be up there in plenty of time for the real wedding and reception next weekend. I'm so excited (albeit nervous about my maid, ahem, matron of honor speech), and I can't believe it's already here!!! Woo hoo!
My next post (which I'm hoping to write later tonight) will have my 5 month pregnancy pics and I'll talk about my pregnancy related feelings lately. I can't believe I'm at almost 24 weeks already!!
I SO wish you could have been there, we missed you! Can't wait to see you Wednesday:)
