On May 21st Harris and I headed to North Carolina to visit my best friend Jody. It only took 10 hours to get there.....geesh! Harris was a champ traveling....where to go next? Misha and Jessica also came into town and we had a little girl's + baby weekend. We stayed in our pj's until the afternoon, went boating, and basically chit chatted the days away. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was perfect. The girls and I don't get much time together anymore since we now all reside in 5 different states (Amanda wasn't able to make the weekend) and it was just like old times. You would have thought we had been together just days before instead of years. We have been through so much together.... stressful classes, BAD boyfriends, worse haircuts, weddings, overseas deployments, and now babies. Such exciting times! It was so special to have to girls meet Harris. He LOVED them!!! It didn't hurt that he got the undivided attention of 3 new, lovely ladies. He is definitely a flirt.

After our time at Jody's, Harris and I headed to Charleston to meet Clay and the rest of the family. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive which seemed like a breeze after our day of flying. We spent the night and next day walking around Charleston. It was such a beautiful town and I would love to go back and spend some more time there. We then headed to the beach. It was perfect! Harris was able to play in the sand with his truck and tools, float in the pool and ocean, and hang out with G-dad, DeeDee, Uncle P, Aunt Ashley, and Ensley. Who could ask for more?

(I need to remember to do pictures first and then write so the pictures are at the end. Oh well, I am not going to fix it!)

Harris is getting so big! It looks like he really enjoyed the beach. I loved the picture of him playing in the sand.
