vacation wrap-up

Hi people! So, here's what we did on the rest of vacation. Really it was just a repeat of the first half - more beach, more food, more shopping... nothing wrong with that! But, on Wednesday night we went to this great bar/concert venue in Dewey Beach called the Bottle & Cork. We got to see Donavan Frankenreiter - I missed him the only time he was in Dallas, so I was really excited to get to see him finally. He put on a great show, a lot of fun!
Speaking of food - I have to highlight my absolute favorites, like we go all year craving these moments on vacation.
Grotto's Pizza - it's so good! We figured out that their trick is to put the sauce on top of the cheese, so yummy!!!

And, of course more Royal Treat. I had a vision the night before for the absolute perfect sundae, and the nice boy at the counter executed it perfectly! It started with lining the glass in caramel, adding a few peanuts, scoops of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, more peanuts, whip cream delux and a cherry on top! Don't I look so excited!? :)

Can't wait til next year!

vacation update

Hi everyone! I know it's been forever since I've posted, there has been a lot going on. I'll catch you up on everything eventually, but for now I'm on vacation. So, I thought I would give you a glimpse of what I've been up to so far while on vacation. We are in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Dela-where? Yes, Delaware. David's family is from the area and visit here every year. It is a great little beach town on the East Coast with so much to do and see - even if you are just doing nothing. Which, isn't that what vacation is all about any way?

So, of course we've been to the beach. I love all the different colors of umbrellas. I don't really get into the water here, it's really cold and I can't see my feet...

Yes, we've been shopping. I got these really cute new flip flops and some awesome baby clothes (I love the little tie onesie!!!).

And, oh my, have we been eating. We've had most of our annual favorites so far, but there is still time to squeeze more in. I'm only allowed to eat seafood a couple times, so I didn't partake in the crab feast last night, but I did participate by helping my husband pick crab. I've also had plenty of ice cream while I've been here, it's just part of the fun!!! This is a yummy hot fudge sundae from Royal Treat, I think I'll have to treat myself to another one before we head home!
Yesterday we went to the movie and saw Harry Potter, it was a rainy day. And, we've been watching the Tour De France every morning. It's nice to be on vacation watching it, we really have time to get into it. We've got lots more planned, just wanted to give you an update. Off to the beach...

way behind...

I'm falling behind on updates. And, I actually have stuff to update you on! Here is a preview of posts to come. Our internet is out at the house for a few days while we are under crazy renovations, so as soon as it is up and running again I'll get you the full stories...


I was ready for favorite food friday, but I couldn't get the post to update on my phone. Here's a taste...

Here's one thing I did this weekend...

And another...

hump day = bump day (week 19)

Let me just start by saying, if you're not watching So You Think You Can Dance right now - you should be. It's awesome!

Okay, here we are, coming right up on the official half-way mark. Not much to report this week. I definitely feel bigger this week. I spent Tuesday afternoon walking around the mall while competitive shopping for work (yes, I promise it counts as work) and by the end of the day my belly felt so heavy.

I found out this week that another one of my sorority pledge sisters is pregnant. That's three of us in this small circle less than a month apart. Laura told me that she is also expecting a boy, so I'll be anxious to hear when Lydia finds out - it would be too funny if we were all having boys! We will definitely have to set up some play dates!
