Wedding and Family Vacation

I apologize in advance because for some reason this weekend, I wasn't in a big picture taking mood. Saturday we had a great beach day - Jimmy's first without a textbook in some time. Mike parked at our place and walked - some hooligan stole my bike the other day - with us to the beach. He and Jimmy got a couple surf sessions in while I worked a crossword and kept my eye on the beer cooler. Saturday night we went to Lauren and Josh Lea's wedding reaffirmation. It was a beautiful setting, actually their backyard, that overlooked marsh land and just an all around great time. Congrats Lauren and Josh!

Saturday also marked the start of the annual Atkinson family vacation in Carolina Beach, so we met up with Matt and Ryane at the Fat Pelican when we got back into town. Sunday morning we did breakfast together at Kate's Pancake House and then Jimmy and I had to do a couple hours of chores. It sometimes sucks living at the beach because you actually have to do stuff other than sunbathe and drink beer on the weekends. Such is life. Sunday afternoon we went to meet up with the whole Atkinson family at their beach rental for dinner. A great dinner, a few cold ones and a competitive game of Trivial Pursuit later - GIRLS RULE! - and it was time to call it a night. Jimmy and I both feel super close to the Atkinson family and really look forward to the summertime when they're in the area for a week.

Very much looking forward to the Fourth when Matt is back in town and Ben, Amie and Lucy(!!!) come to visit! Woo hoo!
