Sunday Update – April 8, 2018
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Sit down and get comfortable. I haven’t done one of these in two weeks so I have plenty to share, y’all! Notice I said y’all. After a week in the South, it comes easy.
The week before Easter went about as well as expected. The weather was still crap, and there were a few things we had to do that made things difficult, but we got everything done before vacation. Easter weekend was nice too. We went to my in-laws on Long Island to have Easter Sunday brunch and dinner and do an Easter egg hunt in the yard. It’s tradition, and we love it. The weather was lovely for the day too! Bright and sunny and warm enough outside to be without a jacket.
Then that night and the very next day, it snowed. OF COURSE IT SNOWED. Because we were to leave on vacation. The snow stopped mid-morning, we dug ourselves out, and then we left to drive to JFK to get our flight. We got really lucky and hit absolutely no traffic on the way there. I don’t think we’ve ever made it to JFK in under an hour but we did. Once we were checked in, we ate sushi at the fancy sushi restaurant in the Jet Blue terminal and then waited for our flight. Our flight was a little delayed but not too bad. We got the kids pizza for dinner on the plane and my husband and I had sandwiches. We made it to my parents later than we would’ve liked but we were on vacation!
Tuesday, we went to the beach after my husband and my dad got back from golfing. Then we had dinner at a great restaurant nearby.
Wednesday, my husband and I went on to see some historic houses in Charleston, and we had lunch in the city then dinner back at home.
On Thursday, my mom and I took the kids to the Children’s Museum in the city, had lunch out, then my husband and I had our traditional yearly date out for dinner and drinks without the kids.
On Friday, we went to the beach in the morning and it was just lovely. The weather was cool and there was no traffic down to the beach! When we were done there, we went out to lunch and I had a huge bucket of crab. Mmmmmm. Then I met up with fellow author, Sarra Cannon, for coffee and we talked for almost 3 hours straight! It was so good to see her and hang out.
On Saturday, we flew home in the morning and were home by 1pm. Vacation was over.
