Snow on the Way ... Thinking of warm days in the sun.

We are waiting for a snow storm, the kid's are home from school. And I am recovering from a chest cold. So trying not to suck into the vortex of the winter blahs, I have been online looking at beach houses for our spring break vacation.


I know that many people go away on Spring Break, or on vacation any time of the year, but this family has not been on a vacation for years! When the kids were small, Russell was a student so money was tight; we went on short camping trips on long weekends. During the last 3-4 years we have used our vacation time to visit my parents during their illnesses and when they were dying and for their funerals. So the idea of a week at the beach is making everyone here giddy!

We are heading to Folly Beach, South Carolina which is just south of Charleston. We have a condo for the week and are just a short walk from the beach!

Russell and I lived on Fripp Island, SC the year we were married. We were married in an antebellum house in Beaufort, and spent six months riding our bikes through the marsh to the beach; it was an idyllic time for us. So we are very excited to show the children the area!

So today, a snowy winter day, we are dreaming of days on the beach, past ones and future ones!
