I can't believe July is already coming to an end. A LOT has happened this month (read: traveling) since our Bermuda cruise. This will probably be a really long post, but I want to remember all the fun I had this month :-)
Just two days after we got home, we drove to Huntington, WV to attend Jill and Sam's wedding. Andy went to law school with Jill. It was a beautiful day!
We took many nightly walks. Sometimes we went downtown. I love walking around our cute little downtown and summer nights here are close to perfection!
& before I set off on my next traveling adventure, our Women's Ministry hosted a Paint Night! It was SO fun and I love that our small town has a place like this.
Some highlights of our trip included:
Family dinner night at Paco's Tacos
Barrett's wedding shower
Meeting Luci's brother Kona & seeing my friend Grace and her husband Chase
Pool days (and nights!)
Electric scootering around SouthEnd (this was definitely a highlight for my Mom, Anna, and I!) It was so fun!! We rented Bird scooters, rode for a while, got dinner, walked to Pike's for dessert, and then scootered some more!
& finally we enjoyed a couple of ice cream dates!
It was such a fun week back in Charlotte with family <3
In between Charlotte and my NEXT trip, I went to a baby shower for Stephanie and Harrison. I can't wait to be an aunt!
Just a couple of days later, I was back on the road (and in the air) to Myrtle Beach!
Right after Nana and Papa picked me up from the airport, we had to take a golf cart ride down to the beach :-)
It had been a rainy day so we stayed in that night. The next day we took it slow and got out to the beach around lunchtime. Sadly, we weren't out there very long before the rain came!
Since our beach day was rained out, we got ice cream ;-) I'm noticing this post has a lot of ice cream involved ha ha
The next day I went out on the beach EARLY to catch the sun before the rain came! Aunt Darlene came back to MB this day too.
Thankfully we got in several hours on the beach before the rain came. Aunt Darlene and I weathered the storm under an umbrella with Miss Janet's family and it was quite a windy/rainy storm!
Nana, Papa, and I went out to dinner at California Dreaming.
& just like that, it was time to fly home the next day. I love the time I get to spend with Nana, Papa, and Aunt Darlene at the beach. It's where I spent my summers as a child :-)
Believe it or not, Myrtle Beach was NOT supposed to be my last trip of the month. Barrett's bachelorette party in DC was this past weekend. I still can't believe it, but I wasn't able to make it. My car broke down last week so I couldn't drive, so then I bought a plane ticket and then the flight was cancelled the morning I was leaving. So THEN I tried to rent a car (Andy had his truck at work in Beckley) and there weren't any cars available. It was SUCH a mess and needless to say, I was SO upset.
Andy ended up taking me out to dinner that night after the day I had. I was so, so sad to not be there to celebrate Barrett. But thankfully the girls sent me lots of pictures throughout the weekend.
OH and while I was at the beach, we went under contract on a house.
(Update: it didn't work out!)
Whew!!! What a BUSY but FUN month!! July is my favorite month of the year and it has been a good one :-)
