Weekend

We packed up the car on Friday and headed to Summerville for the weekend.

Where we celebrated Jared's 30th birthday!

Visited a plantation.

Ate snow cones.

Played until our heart's content.

Babysat Miss Isla so her mommy and daddy could enjoy an evening out to celebrate Jared's birthday.

Scrub-a-dub-dub three kids in the tub! :-)

Thanks for another relaxing weekend! See you next time! And soon, hopefully in Greenville before we wear out our welcome.

Weekend.

Not this week...the last one. The one we just got caught up from, yet another one is already here?!

It was a great weekend. You can read about it HERE.

Thanks and have a great day!

Kidding.

I'll add a few more pics because I can't let you go about your weekend without seeing Parker and her sand eating time at the beach. :-)

What's that you said Mom? No? Well, all the more reason to chow down on some shells...
and smile back at you while doing so.

Some serious sand castle planning

Aaaannnndddd one more of the cute sand eating baby.

Besides for spending the day at the beach, we also spent a lot of time at their new house. It was so nice and my kids loved the space!

Sunday morning pancake approval by Parker

And then a little pool and sprinkler action

because it was really too hot to do anything else!

This time last year.

I had a huge belly. Man that thing was huge.

Isla was Parker's age.

Lane looked like a baby.

And we spent the weekend with our friends.

You can read about it HERE.

Can't wait to do it again...this weekend...minus the belly, plus one more little.

Lane's been asking where Isla is so I guess that means it's been too long. Summerville and the Matheys: Here WE come!!

Gatlinburg

Your typical mountain town. Really cool setting.

Lots of little shops and restaurants nestled in the mountains. It was also your typical cheesy tourist type destination. It sort of reminded me of a Myrtle Beach, but in the mountains. Lots of Ripley's museums, arcades and all the cliche things you might see in a popular touristy town.

We had lunch at a Pizzeria and brewery and walked in and out of the little streets letting the kids explore.

After spending the afternoon in Gatlinburg, we took advantage of the free Moon Shine tasting...I only could stomach a sip of the first shot. No wonder why it was FREE! Another fun day!

Dollywood

and SOOOO much more!

Greenville, SC sits 3 hours from the coast and 2 1/2 hours from the Smoky Mountains. We always take advantage of the beach and even vacation there several times a year. Over the weekend we took advantage of the mountains and joined our friends on a vacation to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN.

We called it cheap and cheesy because when we started planning it, we were both building/renovating houses so we just wanted a little getaway that wouldn't break the bank. We figured as long as we were together, it would be fun! It definitely exceeded our expectations and we have plans to make it a yearly event!

We had everything we needed!

and of course a cabin complete with large deck, hot tub that we cooled down during the day (for the kids) and turned up at night (for the adults)

and rocking chairs.
