Beach

The best thing about going to the Big Island (no not Hawaii) is there is not much to do. It is a wonderful escape from life. While I still worked full days, cooked, and cleaned, it was an escape. It was a getaway from the normal routine but not too much that it was hard to get back to real life once home.

Since my ADD is in full force, here is the shortened version of our time with mom and dad.

We enjoyed sunsets on the deck



Okay, so I lied. We didn't sit out on the deck and enjoy too much of anything because the mosquitoes were so horrendous, but I did stand out there long enough to capture the peaceful waterway sunset.

The dock was finished before we left so we grabbed some fishing poles and headed down to the dock to cast a few times before we became dinner for the mosquitoes. (yes, they were that bad.)

Wes caught our appetizer.





I caught dinner but it took both of us to reel it in so we couldn't snap a picture. Okay, so I lied again. I believe it was my fourth cast when I got stuck in the oyster bed and called it quits.



While we were fishing, dad was up to his new favorite "chore." Driving around on the riding lawn mower...in his dress clothes.



A little more studying (okay, a lot more studying), a few more walks on the beach, a trip to the Myrtle Beach outlets, and a delicious dinner at Mr. Ps with friends, was the end of our long stay with mom and dad. We're already looking forward to our return next month. Thanks mom and dad for letting me move back home for a week!
