Car Rides are the Best (shots) Rides

(If you are here to see my best shot, scroll down... it's down there, I promise... or just read about our vacation; you're welcome to read or just look at the photo! :) )

It's Monday. I can't believe it's Monday! Good things always have to come to an end. And we had a VERY good vacation. The wedding was beautiful! We were able to have it outside (even though it was supposed to rain!), the reception was a blast, and it was just all around perfect!

We were able to vacation, afterwards. We stayed in Charleston for a couple of days and then we headed to Columbia, to stay with distant relatives of Andy's (and I mean distant! I can't even remember how he is related...haha).

Here's a bulleted list of the highlights:

1) *I* got carsick or just sick on the way down. Who knows. I was sick pretty much the whole 12-hours. Thankfully, I felt much better the next day!

2) We took two night walks, on the beach. We saw crabs and all sorts of beach animals.

3) We ate A LOT of good southern food. We even ate alligator (which is quite yummy, might I add?!)

4) Adam is now addicted to sweet tea. ha ha.

5) We had TWO run-ins with the law. OH yes. TWO! Both due to Andy's pimp-mobile. (I will post about those later)

6) Adam swam in the ocean at the age of TWO. I was 23 before I saw the ocean.

7) We went to Savannah for the day, and ate at Savannah's #1 hamburger restaurant. It was pretty yummy. They even had a "hamburger" salad for me! ha ha.

8) We ate a lot of ice cream.

9) We danced our hearts out at the wedding. I am sure there are blackmail photos of me out there, somewhere.

10) Blueberry Mojitos = yum = Brittany willing to dance at wedding.

11) Adam is in love with the flower girl. They were joined at the hip for three days. I think he thought they were getting married, since they walked down the aisle together. ha ha. AND they only live about 10 minutes from us, so we have a new play friend!

12) We went boating! ( I have a video of this, and will post it later)

13) Lots of shopping! I had a blast at all of the new grocery stores and retail stores.

14) Matt likes to walk. Matt likes to talk. He has grown SO much in the last week, it's crazy!!!

I'm sure there's more... I just can't think of it all! We had a wonderful time! I will post more photos as the week goes on. There are over 500... seriously. ha ha.

Here are a few (The first shot is my BEST shot!)

Car rides= fun times or sleepy time?!



ALSO- Happy 11 Months, today, to my little man Matt!!! ONLY one more month until he is one. I LOVE YOU SO much little MATTHEW! :)

I missed you more. I love those darn cheeks of those boys, especially sleeping in the car seat and talk to hubby about moving here and I will have him a job in a heart beat.

No state taxes baby!!! I would die if you actually moved my way.

krissy said...

P.S.

I would babysit too.

Glad you had a good time (minus the sickness of course!). Matt does look bigger to me! Love the french fry picture!

Sara said...

looks (or sounds) like a wonderful trip!

Stacy said...

Sounds like you had a very wonderful time...fantastic! Sorry to hear about the lawman coming down on you. Flashy cars do tend to attract them like mosquitos. ;)

Very cute pictures, too. :)

Never That Easy said...

Sounds like you had a ball. I've never had sweet tea, but I'm so curious about it (sweet? Check. Tea? Double Check. It sounds like my kind of thing.) And weddings are made for that kind of fun, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a great shot!

Kat said...

What a fabulous trip! MY WORD, your boys are gorgeous!!!

Fire Hunt said...

I can't belive you had fun!! hahaha. Can't wait to see the pics. I am so glad everything went so well. Send some pics my(travis) way of the wedding. I would love to see them.

cute - as usual! Love the pic of Matt in the swing. I can hardly believe he'll be a year so soon.

So glad you had a nice vacation.

Miss you and your family.

Christina said...

Yay for a great trip! You're back just in time for us to leave in the morning. :o) It sounds terrific and I look forward to seeing more photos. Alligator is yummy (and I don't like "weird" foods). Sounds like Bean is going to have to fight for her man!!

Kellan said...

Welcome back, Brittany - you were missed - glad you had such a good vacation!

Rose said...
