Auburn: Day 1

In early spring, when we were just coming out of the pandemic, we decided we needed a vacation. In the past (with the exception of last summer) we've rented a lake house with Meamaw and Grandpa in Daddy's hometown. This year that wasn't an option, but we looked for lake houses to rent on our own. Sadly, with everyone else deciding they wanted to go on vacations after the pandemic, there weren't any affordable options, so we chose an historical Victorian in downtown Auburn and planned to spend time at the lake and pool with Daddy's high school friends and their families.

Today we drove, arriving at the house just after check-in, unloaded our stuff and headed over to Bill and Ania's house for dinner. A pool and two puppies made for a great evening for the kids while the grown ups caught up.

Happy 4th of July

The weather hasn't felt very summery lately, and 4th of July weekend has be no exception. Fireworks last night were cancelled at the beach, so instead we opted for two nights of barbecuing in the backyard with Gram and Grumpy, a mini pinata and backyard fireworks.

Enjoying Summer

There's a sweet spot between our end of school and everyone else's end of school where we can do all the summer stuff without the crowds of summer vacationers. We're trying to blend being out with staying home and relaxing. Ice cream, backyard pool with friends, and a trip to the beach- we had the whole beach to ourselves.
