Every Mile A Memory

So I most definitely have not updated on this in a while and I really need to get back in the habit of it. This past weekend was spent in Charleston with my most favorite non blood family members! It was a house with 4 adults and 6 kids (all under the age of 8)....INSANITY! I'm used to my one child so Ansley, bless her heart, is a saint for being able to handle her 5 children to my 1. The kids really were awesome though!

Friday we hung out at the beach. It was just a tad bit windy....but we made the best of it. The kids even decided to get in the freezing cold water. Friday night was topped off with a cook out for Ansley's neighbors so that meant a date night with my man to the one and only Hymans and a nice walk downtown in the shops and night market. We don't get date nights often so it was nice.




Saturday (after our EVENTFUL smoking lunch at Waffle House.....love you Ans) we took all 6 kids PLUS the 2 children that Ansley was babysitting....and went downtown. The look on people's faces when you saw Bryan pushing a stroller with Ansley pushing a stroller and 5 kids walking in between them made the whole trip worth it. It appeared as if the Duggars had taken over Charleston. So after about 30 minutes of that Bryan loaded up all the kids and left Ansley and Lauren to walk around with us for a while. It was very nice. We were able to just walk around and enjoy ourselves. Watching Jayden and Lauren so close is fun to me. They were inseparable all weekend. Saturday night Ansley arranged a babysitter and we were able to have adults only dinner at AW Shucks. I can't tell you the last time we were able to have dinner just adults. I love Jayden and I know they love their kids but it was nice to just be us for a little while and enjoy dinner.


Sunday was a sad day....we came home, but by way of Savannah and stopped for a fun lunch on River Street and did a little walking around.
 



I made a rule for this trip, no counting calories, no stressing about what I ate....I was on vacation and I was going to enjoy it and then deal with it when I got home. Well I didn't eat the best but according to my scale this morning I was down 1.5lbs so it wasn't a weekend wasted!
