Way back when, during the Spring time, I planned a trip to North Myrtle Beach with my best girlfriends from Charlotte. Even though we have since moved down to Florida and live about a mile from the beach, it meant a lot to me to follow through with this trip. My parents had agreed to watch Jackson at their house, so I took him and Sugar on a road trip (about 12 hours each way) up to NC. I spent the first few days in Charlotte hanging out with mom and dad. I was also able to fit in a couple of shifts at the hospital (I am still employed with them PRN) On Wednesday night I took off for my "girls beach trip" leaving Jackson and Sugar behind with Grammy and Pa. There were certainly no hurt feelings from the two of them because they had a blast the whole time I was gone. Sugar got to play non-stop with her long lost friend, TJ and Jackson got spoiled by the grandparents. On Friday evening, Chris, Bob, Katie, and Delaney joined the fun. From the looks of the pictures, it seems as if I am the one that missed out. At the end of the weekend, mom and dad were kind enough to meet me on I-95 so I could fetch up the boy and the dog. Then we were on the long road back to Naples. Here are some pictures of the fun that Jackson had while I was away...

We are so lucky that we got to live fairly close to the Schroeders and the Gladdens as long as we did. It is so special to see Jackson and Delaney play together. I just hope we can still manage to get them together fairly often, so that they can continue to grow up together.
