Ben is in the Dominican Republic for work for 5 weeks and we are here! School came to an end and the restlessness set in so I decided to visit family in Jacksonville for a little break. So we headed North June 24th with plans to stay through the holiday to celebrate the twin's birthdays.
We started out with a visit to my grandma's on Saturday to help celebrate her 82nd birthday.

Sunday we helped my niece Abby celebrate her 9th Birthday, Bieber-style!
During the next week we just hung out.
We took in a $1 summer movie, Nanny McPhee Returns, with Uncle Larry.
We tried to go see one of Uncle Larry's baseball games but after we drove all the way out to Middleburg the game was cancelled due to rain.
We got together with my Mom and sisters and all our our kids for a group photo followed by a closing down of Chic-fil-A.
I got to hang out and play Bunco with my girls, while the kids spent the night with my Mom and took in Cars 2.
Drove (well, Uncle Larry drove) to St. Augustine with Grandma. We visited the Mission, Fort Matansas, and the carousel.
We did the St. Mary's Aquatic Center on Saturday with my Mom and sisters.
Jacksonville Zoological Gardens after church.
And for the twin's birthday we got to hang at the beach before watching the fireworks.

All in all it was a great visit that could only have been better if Daddy was with us!
I would have loved to have been there, but without this trip, that trip wouldn't have been possible.
