Day Trippin’

by on ‎07-25-2014 05:04 PM

I didn’t want to call this blog stay-cation again so I am going with “Day Trippin’ because that is what we did for the last 2 weeks.


We started our vacation joining our good friend Holly celebrate her sons wedding.  Congratulations to John, Jeannie and family.  It was a beautiful ceremony.



Next it was time for our annual crab pickin’ with Leah, Lena, Barb & Aneesah.  Served with fried chicken, corn on the cob & shrimp salad!! Yum!! Avery photo bombed the picture but I think she was really more interested in stealing the crabs.



Picking crabs is rough on the fingernails, so off to the nail salon for mani’s & pedi’s.  Awww!



Day Trip!!!  Off to NY!!  My sister drove my mom, mother in law, Avery & me in one car.  Chelsea drove the other car with Lauren, Allen, & Kennady.  Chelsea’s first time driving in NY.  She get’s the “I survived driving in NY t-shirt”.




We had dinner at Tony’s, a family style Italian food restaurant near Times Square.




Then it was time to head to the theater.  We saw Wicked one night and then went to the matinee for The Lion King (still one of my all-time favorite shows. We were true tourist!  Took pictures in all of the usual places. 




That was week #1


To start off week 2 Chelsea, Lauren & James headed to the Brandywine River for kayaking.  I was a bystander for that one.  My arms were to sore from playing tennis.  (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it)



Not only do I love to play tennis, I love to watch tennis!!  My sister, mom, mother-in-law & I went to Villanova University to watch the World Team Tennis featuring Venus Williams of the Washington Kastles vs. The Philadelphia Freedom.  It is a small intimate venue so you really connect with the players.  We had ringside seats.



We went to “Color Me Mine” for craft day.  You can pick from an assortment of unpainted pottery pieces, pick your colors and create original art.  They fire them and you pick them up in about a week.  I will post picture of them when they are finished.  Stay tuned.



Linda Davies hosted a graduation party for her son Kevin.  I can’t believe he is off to college.  Time for the mom’s to celebrate!!



We had a few days during the 2 weeks when the weather was not great but if the sun was out we touch full advantage.  Here are some ladies you might recognize.



In between all of our fun day trips, we spent time relaxing by the pool with family and friends. It is like having our own little bed & breakfast here.  We serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. We have tons of laundry to do daily, towels and bed linens etc., but we enjoy every second. 


I missed all of you and can’t wait to get back to work.  Day Trippin’ is exhausting.  I will see you bright and early Monday morning for Fashionably Early. 


Blessings,
