A Weekend Away

This past weekend, we took a trip to Virginia Beach with the Young Family Fellowship from our church. Needless to say, Mapquest sent us on a quest, but through teamwork and ingenuity (we had an Atlas from 2003 and at one point, used the compass on our trip computer) we made it to the beach house.

We had a great time just relaxing and chilling out - the kids on the other hand, went hog wild - which is perfectly OK by me. It meant that they had a good time too, which was the whole purpose of this mini-vacation. What I love so much about retreats is how it reveals the true family dynamics outside the framework of a church activity.



14 kids...all accounted for


The beach house was great. It wasn't ocean front, but all we had to do was walk across the road to get to the beach


We finally had a chance to take some good beach pictures(using our new 18-200 VR lens)
Here's Maddie and Katie

And Carter (probably looking for an airplane)


And then our Family Portrait


Unfortunately, we did have to go home - everyone was sad but we did leave our mark
