Mini Vacation to Cherry Grove and Easter Pics


I had to throw this one in there. Sophie LOVES Wylie. She loves Zoe too but Wylie lets her do anything she wants to him. She gives him hugs, pats his belly, pulls his ears, sticks her fingers in her nostrils, even lets her touch his paws (which is forbidden in Wylie's world).

My little beach bum

Since both Ricky and I had Good Friday off, we decided to take Thursday off and have an extended weekend. Going back 2 months, Ricky found a website http://www.homeaway.com/ that has homes and condos you can rent through the homeowner, not a rental company (I think that's how it works). So he found this 1 bedroom condo at Cherry Grove Beach for a really good rate for 3 nights. The rate also included the dogs so they got to tag along. This was our first trip as a family (aside from the trips we've taken to Charlotte). Couldn't have asked for better weather for April. It was sunny and in the low 80's with a slight breeze. It was just gorgeous weather.

We enjoyed ourselves and I think Sophie enjoyed her first real time on the beach. She didn't seem to fond of the sand, but as everyone knows, it gets everywhere and then you get some in your mouth, and it's just annoying sometimes. I have a feeling that will change over time. As much as I hope to take her this summer, she'll LOVE the sand :)

We drove back Easter Sunday and had dinner at Gigi and Poppie's house. Sophie's Great Granny and Papa were there too. We got some pictures taken, it's a rare occasion for us to get a family picture. It's usually me taking the pictures.
