A trip to the grandparents' house

Last week, my husband actually had a few days off from work. I say "actually," because he doesn't often have them. Since it had been several months since we'd gone to my grandparents' house in WV, we decided this would be the perfect chance to get away. We loaded up the van and headed north.

We were only able to stay two nights, but we spent a lot of time with our family, enjoyed the cooler temperatures, went shopping and enjoyed my grandmother's cooking. We also took Emorie to ride on the Ridge Runner, a train that I rode as a little girl.



Emorie liked the train until the whistle blew, or until we went through the tunnel.

We then let our kiddo play on the playground until it started to rain. We had a great visit, and I wish we could do it more often.

Emorie's first beach trip

My precious girl and I went to the beach with my parents last week. It was her first ever trip and she loved it. She mostly loved the hotel's kiddie pool and the lazy river, but she loved making sandcastles on the beach as well.

Just checkin' out the view.

On the final day we were there, we hit up the outlets to do some shopping. Emorie didn't want to shop, but found something better to do.

We had a great time, even if Daddy had to work and couldn't come.
