2008..The Year of the Vacation

2008 has definitely been an active year; we never imagined we would be taking so many trips! Kev and I started our excursions with a wonderful visit to Puerto Rico in May. We followed that with a family vacation to Lake Burton, GA with some good friends in June. Shortly after visiting Georgia, we headed to the beach in Alabama to meet the Jeffords family. The kids and I figured we might as well visit another state in August, so we flew home to Texas. Labor Day Weekend found me celebrating with grade school friends, Shannon and Allison. We had a girly trip to Scottsdale, AZ, and we stayed at the Phoenician (we enjoyed a little night-life followed by a day of spa treatments). It was so wonderful to see my girls; it had been 10 years (at my wedding) since the 3 of us had been together. With school starting, we decided to stay home for a couple of months, so September and October were spent in Gainesville. To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, Kev and I headed to Weston, FL 2 weeks ago. We drove down to the Keys one day and spent the rest of the days relaxing in the sun. You might think our travels are over for the year, but we still have 2 trips to go! We all fly to Texas on Nov. 25 (Happy Birthday, Mimi) for Thanksgiving and then Jamy & Joi's wedding. We are so excited that Uncle Big Time is tying the knot!!! To round-out the year, we are spending the week of Christmas in West Palm (hopefully soaking up some sun); we hope to get to spend a little time with Allison and J. King (Aunt Al, the kiddos miss you). We have thoroughly enjoyed all of our fun this year; who knows what we'll do in 2009!
