This is my "snapshot scrapbook" of our daily doings for my children and family. I hope to preserve the "everyday" for my children and for us so that we can always read it and remember.

Spring Break 2009

We returned home Saturday after a nice, long week of vacation to see family and also to get away just the two of us. We left Saturday the 4th and went to Montgomery to visit our parents and have a family birthday party for Sullivan on Palm Sunday. We then left on Monday for Orange Beach while our parents shared Sullivan during our absence. Lee had one goal for our trip: catch our dinner at least one night, preferably catch a Pompano. As the man of many talents that he is, he did it! Twice! We enjoyed both the Flounder and Pompano that he caught and they were fresh, flaky and simply heavenly. We were able to stay at a dear family friend's condo, and I enjoyed the amenities immensely: indoor heated pools, saunas, pool-side reading, watching movies, eating out, cooking in and simply...doing nothing. Although it was windy and quite chilly, my spirits were not shaken. Just the mere act of getting out of town is such a treat! We then drove back to Montgomery on Thursday, enjoyed more family, then returned to SC on Saturday afternoon for a surprisingly beautiful, friend-filled Easter Sunday. What a week!

Happy to hear that you and Lee along with Sullivan had a great Easter week visiting parents and enjoying the sites. Congrats to Lee for the good catch of fish. Fresh fish is the best, and he made it that way with his fishing talents. Nice pics. Nice photography indeed. God bless you all.
