Back from Vacation

If you're only here for the pictures...this post ain't for you. You'll have to read for an update this time. I plan to work on pics soon. It's my new year's resolution.

Well, we're back from our trip to Hilton Head. We had a tremendous time. It was sunny and mid 60s, which is slightly different from home. We made it to the beach for sunrise a couple of times. The first time, we got a real treat. About a dozen dolphins were enjoying the sunrise not even 50 yards from shore. It was amazing. And with a sunset in the southwest, we got to enjoy that on the beach as well. Really a week to spoil us. And Becky's Aunt and Uncle came from Florida to visit. Plus we got a date night, dinner and a movie. I even got a history lesson with dad on a Gullah Heritage Tour.

Here's a few links for that:

Here's another.
Here's a whole list.

I'll go into more about that as I blog the trip and pics. It was a terrific vacation, revitalizing as they say. We missed everyone back home. Ava was thrilled to see Grandma and Grandpa at the airport. And it was wonderful to see Great-Grandma and G-Pa, as they were in Michigan for the holidays.

Anyway, we're doing great, Ava is almost 9 months old now, and has 5 teeth already. Number 6 is almost through too! And she's doing well with food. She loves sweet potato and avacado and oatmeal. Though not all at once :) And we've discovered she likes the way we cook, with lots of flavor. So I'll get to work on the photos as soon as I can. The basement remodeling is keeping me busy, too. Happy New Year to everyone, we hope Christmas was blessed and the new year rings beautiful.
