Instead of the blasé, gratuitous post vacation photo dump, I thought I would take you sweeties on a little timeline recap. Let me start by saying that I love the beach probably more than anyone else in the whole world…I’m a vocabulary person, and I don’t even have enough words to tell you what a great time I had.
Day 1
Mostly driving. Eating some incredible peach cobbler on the way at Burris Farm Market. Learning that Della loves sand…a lot.

Day 2
Pictures (in sunglasses because it was way too bright for anything else). Dinner at King Neptune…so eating way more than I care to admit here. Just a little glimpse of what it was like – I had bacon-wrapped-crabmeat-stuffed-shrimp. Yum. Also, that shirt I’m wearing in the last picture is my new favorite thing!

Day 3
Snacks on the beach. Let’s be honest, this was every day. It was also the end of the snap pea crisps…

Day 4
Low. Country. Boil. That’s really all that needs to be said. (P.S. That’s alligator sausage…just learned that this year.)

Day 5
The day Della and I went “boating.” The day my brother-in-law flipped over the boat (with me in it) and we all laughed.

Day 6
This is by far my favorite restaurant. They have live music (who play us “Rocky Top” every year) every weekend. Della was obsessed with the girl playing the bass fiddle…I kind of was too. How cool is that?

Day 7
With the exception of the last one, these pictures are too sad to enlarge. After a week of beautiful weather, a freak storm blew through and totally destroyed our canopies (tent city). We left them in a mangled heap at the end of the driveway. On the plus side, Della is clearly a future blogger, and we had great weather for the rest of the day to make up for not having shade.

Sorry if it took thirty minutes for this page to load! I couldn’t pare it down anymore, and I love all of these pictures. Other notes about the week:
- We saw so many dolphins! I even saw a cute, little baby one jump all the way out of the water!
- This was the year of the sand bar. Every afternoon there were these huge sand bars all up and down the beach that went out really far with water barely up to our ankles. It was beautiful.
- It was also the year of the seashell. I filled up the rest of my shell jar and got seven giant shells!
- I finally had a chance to wear my neon orange flip flops! I’m going to have to show them to you very, very soon.

Now that summer is officially over, I have got to get into school mode quick. I start student teaching orientation tomorrow! I’m definitely going to miss summer, but I am so ready for fall (and everything that follows). Student teaching > graduation > job (hopefully) > wedding planning > WEDDING!
