more myrtle photos...

 

i heart south carolina..

after about 18 hours of driving,
we arrived and fell in love with our accommodations.
3 bedrooms on the 9th floor.
pools and hot tubs...right on the beach.

as night fell
we were all feeling tired from the 2 day drive...

...and then this moon arrived...
and i was the happiest girl you could imagine.
at first it was red...then orange...then gold...
i've never seen a moon rising up over the ocean before...
...stunning.
with my head on my pillow i enjoyed this view.

of course we all slept through the sunrise...
...because we are on vacation.

the girls were excited to feel the sand between their toes.

we love the beach,

the sights,

the atmosphere,

and the shopping.

it is all making us smile...

...and be silly.

days together...

i took many beautiful photos of our holiday. sunsets, beaches, birds and palm trees. i'm not going to post them today. the girls may raise a fuss, but that's fine with me. these are the photos that will always make me smile when i remember the funny moments together.

look how cute this little guy is. elsie picked him out of the crowd on the first day of the cruise and we met up with him again when he was all dressed up...don't they make a fantastic pair?

two chickies in the back of the convertible. those florida folks could see us tourists coming. it was not warm enough to have the top down...but we had the heat cranked and it was bearable.

this one for sure will not go over well, but i may never have this chance again. peaceful resting cherubs...no bickering, no nattering...ahhhhhhhh.......lovely..........

everyone fell out but me. it never got old. very, very funny to watch. so these are the silly moments. my kids were acting like kids. as a matter of fact i think the mom and dad did too! we planned on it being a special holiday, we splurged a little. the weather wasn't perfect everyday, but we didn't really mind. we hung out, we entertained each other and we laughed a lot. it was awesome. xo

fresh memories

taking a moment today to remember my adventure. isn't this the prettiest beer? the weather in germany was great the whole week...perfect for enjoying a refreshment before dinner each night.

eye candy. everywhere.

liz playing in the blowing leaves. i captured a moment here didn't i? i love it.

i am home again

a week in germany...still trying to figure out if it was real. after 17 years apart, two friends together again...that was the best part of it all. just being there with liz. it felt so comfortable to be with her family. they made my trip so wonderful. sharing the sights and flavors of their country.

oh the twins...what little monkeys, what a pair. i'm glad i got to meet them while they were still young. 

everywhere was another sight. beautiful and different.

i have many photos still to share. thanks lizzy. it was perfect.
