On the Road to Jacksonville

We took another road trip this weekend.  My word, I was sooooo excited to go see my friend, Cathy, and her family.  We've been friends since 3rd grade and grew up 2 houses away from each other.  Having two brothers, Cathy was most definitely the sister I never had.

I don't get to see her nearly enough, usually waiting until she comes home for holidays, etc.  Her husband, Bill, is in the military.  They've moved around a lot, but seem to be settled for awhile, so I love that we can visit them now.

I didn't take near as many pictures as I usually do, but do have a few.

Friday, we went to a military family/friend day.  It was 5000 degrees that day, but we didn't care.  Honestly, it was great for Eric and I to be around that 'community' and understand a little more of what my brother, JP will be experiencing.  It was interesting and we learned a lot.

Our girls didn't let the heat get to them.  They stayed on the water slide most of the day ...

And ended the day in the pool ...

Saturday, we went to the beach all day.  The weather was SO NICE.  I could have stayed until the sun went down.

We went back to Cathy's for dinner, Olympics and what Cathy and I do best .... games.

I feel like with all the smack-talk and the fact that Cathy normally wins at word games, it's important to document I swept the entire night ....

It was a good day :) (She claimed she was tired - whatevah!!!!!)

After the game, we spent way too much time trying to get a picture (these make me laugh, Cathy) ...

I love that our girls love each other so much ...

Olivia cried crocodile tears when we pulled out of their driveway on Sunday.  It seriously broke my heart and made me choke back tears.  But, this weekend was good for my soul.

Thank you, Cathy! We love y'all so much.
