3 years and it is a tradition

ok... after 3 years in a row something is a tradition, right???.... well that is how we feel about our "annual beach trip on Memorial Day weekend"... We have had sooooo much fun!! all.three.years.!
it is amazing that you can drive 6 hours, be in the middle of nowhere, and feel like you are a world away.. it is relaxing and the parts of not having do the day in and day out things of life is the best part... this year was a little different... we had a POP UP CAMPER... yahoooooo... no more mattresses that had to be blown up before bed, no more really sandy beds, and Doug can stand up "almost" all the way without having to be hunched back!!!...  well ya know the Lords plans and ours sometimes just don't add up and of course this trip was no exception :)  I can remember putting on facebook that the only decision I would make is to either sit in the camper with the AC or sit in the chair at the beach.... well..............  the first night guess what ............ the air went out.... sooooo what happens when you have no AC and NO fans at the beach????  you sleep in the vehicle...  ALL NIGHT!!!... well at least we were not getting eat by no see ums or pesty bugs!!! and you were cool!!!!.... that next morning we went and bought fans... it was a blessing! we were totally fine with fans! the next night the "Steve Hendrix" family got there!!!  we just LOVE this family... although we missed the Greenwood's and the "other Hendrix" families!!!! (hoping they will get to come next year)   we had a BLAST!!!! I am sooooo glad the Lord gave us great friends!!!!!  we really had a great trip and I am sooooo glad we have a Memorial Day tradition!... next year....  we are thinking Henderson State park in Destin, Fl   !!!!!!!!.... these are some of my favorite pictures..
