Family Vacay 2013: Recap part TWO.

Monday thru Friday was RELAXATION mode for the Glenn family (well, relaxing for us at least, y’all know we still did and went plenty).  And it was HEAVEN.  We slept really late every morning…seriously, still not sure how we lucked out with our amazing little sleeper, but Collins slept till 9 or 9:30 every morning and 10:15 one morning…of course she was staying up a little later than normal, but it was WONDERFUL for us. 



Monday night we headed over to Hilton Head.  I wanted to run to a store there and it’s not that far from Beaufort, so we ended up going into Harbor Town and taking Collins to the playground and park there and running around the waterfront area.  She LOVED it.  We also let her listen to Greg Russell (every night in the summer he does two shows to entertain kids, really cute and fun!)  Mikey’s family grew up vacationing in Hilton Head and this was a tradition for him.  We will definitely have to take her back when she’s older and can enjoy it more.  I miss our condo in Hilton Head for a few reasons, the beach is beautiful there and there is SO much to do.  Whereas Beaufort is much more laid back, make your own fun…but y’all know Beaufort has my heart…I just miss the action sometimes tooJ  It was a fun little nights.



We were literally on the beach for at least 5 hours Mon., Tues., Thurs. and Friday.  But, poor C got the WORST diaper rash ever (beach sand + swim diapers + poop = bad combo!) so we gave the beach a rest on Wednesday and headed downtown to enjoy the waterfront park in Beaufort and eat lunch at one of my favorites, Plums.  We came back and I read by the pool ALONE for two hours while Collins slept, it was pure heaven.  Collins REALLY LOVED and took to the pool on this trip.  We got her one of those little swimmy life jacket things and she was obsessed.  She’s always like the pool, but this time she felt comfy just hanging by herself.  Can’t believe how fast that happenedL



Our friends came down Thursday to stay on Fripp and we joined them on the beach all day Thursday and the girls had the best time playing together.  It was nice for Collins to have some company pushing around that wagon all day!  This was definitely her favorite thing to do on the beach…she pushed the wagon up and down the beach for hours.  Thankfully, Mikey doesn’t really like to just “sit” on the beach so he was good chasing C around most of the time.  She absolutely LOVED it out there….the water, the sand, everything.  Her favorite was when the little “pools” would form on the beach; she played in those for a while.  We had the absolute BEST weather.  It has rained SO DAMN much here in South Carolina this summer that I was nervous.  But, we lucked out and it was gorgeous…thank goodness!  Tuesday and Wednesday nights we really did NOTHING.  We had dance parties on the porch in our jammies, went on a run, walked to the dock, and once C went to bed Mikey and I were couch potatoes.  Very nice.  Thursday we ventured back out to go to dinner just the three of us…the best seafood in Beaufort, at Dockside.  Of course, a photo shoot ensued…because we had one there last year too.  DUH.  The week was so laid back and perfect.  A good, old fashion family vacation full of relaxation, love, play, sleep, and sun.  My heart was so full.







We had a LARGE crew come in and join for the weekend and it was FUN.  My mom and two of her girlfriends (and one of their husbands) got their late Thursday  night, so all of us went to the beach together all day Friday.  By Friday night we have 14 adults and 5 kids at the house for the weekend!!!  (More on that next post)

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
