Thanks to Shannon's awesome idea, Susan and I were able to celebrate our 40ths with our girl group. From Wednesday to Sunday, we stayed at Shannon's beach house. Without kids. Without alarms. Without (real) worries. We talked too late each night, but it was such a great, great time! We "lunched" at the Port Royal Club and then sunned on their beach.
Sunscreen and hats were a new addition for us.
Coverups are also new. As opposed to Umbros/Soffes and t-shirts.
We did pile into the minivan and ventured to the mall. Damage was done. There were SIX of us, after all!
JJ gifted us with the cutest clutches that we all carried to dinner at Campiellos.
We donned camp t-shirts for world Apparel day (a day later).
This was the ride Susan borrowed for me. It was quite a conversation starter when Marjo and I drove to the mall with the top down.
Ashley was the shell guru. She knew the names of them and explained the differences. Super cool!
We went deep sea fishing. JJ is missing from the picture due to a strong need to sit in a chair after the expedition.
Lots of gabbing, even on departure day.
Cocktails on the boat one night.
A spill at John's that Ashley quickly took care of.
Dolphins who followed our boat through the bay.
Baby Osprey and a mad mama!
Ashley looking for shells.
Susan caught the two biggest fish. Both Groupers.
A home cooked meal the last night so we could gab around our table.
This was such a fun trip for all of us. The craziest part was we had not been without kids together since 2003. Sixteen kids between us. Get ready, CL and CLH...they are coming to you!
