Weekend Getaway

One of my roommates from college got married this weekend!  I am so happy for Jean Ann!  She was always so much fun and has such a caring heart.  Her mom lives in Abingdon, and Jean Ann happened to be visiting her one time when we were on our way to Wise a few years ago and it was great catching up with both of them then.  Of course through Facebook we've been able to keep up with each other some too, but it's always nice to see people in person, especially on such a happy day!  We let Grandma and Papa McCollum have some quality time with the kids while we were at the wedding (it was about an hour and a half away from their house), and Dustin and I actually got a nice hotel and spent a relaxing couple of days together.  This was much needed after the past few weeks that we've had with getting the house ready and everything!

So Grandma, Papa, Rachel and Gavin headed to the aquarium in Myrtle Beach for the day.  (I'm not sure who was more excited, Rachel or the Grandparents!)  They said that Rachel had a great time and liked the fish and the mermaids, but was pretty terrified of the dinosaur exhibit!  What a fun bonding time for all of them!

Oh, Rachel may have told Dustin and me, "I liked the mermaids... you go with Daddy somewhere again."  I guess she thinks if we leave then she'll get to go on another adventure!
