Weekend Getaway with Mom

Sorry for my absence in blog land.  I have been meaning to post this all week but just didn't have the time to get the post together...better late than never.

Mom always loves taking a weekend at least once a year to spend with me and my sister.  Sometimes we do them together, and sometimes we do them separately.  Hillary was able to escape to the beach back in January for a small getaway so mom and I started throwing out dates to figure out a weekend that would work for the two of us.  We ended up choosing last weekend and we even took Friday off from work.  Let me just say, it was pure bliss to have a day off at the beach. 
We left Thursday evening after work and we took Hank with us for the weekend.  It rained all night Thursday night and there is nothing better than sleeping at the beach to the sound of rain.  The only downside was having to walk a dog in the rain.  I didn't have Crawford there to nudge and beg to take him out.  It was just me and that part sucked.  The forecast called for rain all day on Friday and only a high of 55.  WRONG! It cleared up around 10 am and it probably got up to about 70-75 that day.  It was GORGEOUS!! We spent the day relaxing, walking, catching up on life, and ended the day by doing some shopping in Morehead.

Saturday we slept in and did nothing majority of the day.  Mom asked what I wanted to do and I told her I had been dying to see the new Cinderella movie.  So that is exactly what we did.  If you follow me on Facebook, you probably saw the status I put up.

We ended the night by eating at Rucker Johns and it was delicious.  On Sunday, we didn't do much but sit around and relax before having to pack up and come home.  It was definitely a wonderful weekend filled with many great laughs and talks.  It was my first time being away from Crawford since we got married and while it was probably needed, I definitely missed him.  

On the way home from the beach, we picked up this gorgeous beauty from my favorite 5thandSmith ladies.  
Isn't she a beauty? 

I hope you all have been enjoying your week and are exciting for the upcoming weekend. I know I sure am!!

PS. GO DUKE!!!!
