A great start to summer vacation!

I just spent Memorial Day weekend with my mom and sister in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was 3 days of reading just-for-fun books (rather than school books), shopping, eating, and MAID service. It was so relaxing to hang out and reconnect with them. We go to the beach every summer with the kids, but this was the first time we've ever had a girls' weekend. What a blessing to have time alone!
I've read a lot of blog entries about Ballard Designs in the past few weeks. Curious, I visited their website and imagine my delight when I discovered they have 2 outlet stores in our area. S2 and I went this afternoon. It was a lot like Pottery Barn outlet, with loads of discounted furniture and some home accessories. We'll definitely be stopping by from time to time to see what treasures await. The beach and a Ballard outlet in one week...what could be a better start to summer vacation???
Well, we're headed to Kentucky tomorrow for a family wedding. We'll get to catch up with the whole family while celebrating C&C's big day. S2 is involved and looks beautiful in her dress. I'll post a picture soon. We haven't seen the family in months and we're really looking forward to it.
Have I mentioned how much I love summer vacation?
