Once upon a time I planned a beach trip. Not a big deal, right? With so many siblings out and about around the globe, I wanted some good old-fashioned fun when they started trickling in for Christmas. So I researched my booty off for M.O.N.T.H.S. to find something that was affordable, beachfront-ish, had a game room and hot tub and could fit the family. So I found it. Created a menu sign-up, harped about pre-shopping and pre-planning, made sure everyone had maps and directions.
And meanwhile was soooooooooo incredibly excited to go on this trip!
But then I got the flu. On Friday, the day we were supposed to actually drive to the beach, I tested positive for the Type A Influenza and my dear doctor friend banned me from going on the trip. It broke my heart.
However....Sister to the rescue! While I stayed at home all alone, my darling sister made sure everyone followed the beach rental rules, cleaned like a madwoman and somehow managed to post over 100 pictures on Facebook so that while I was dying in bed my last images would be of my family, enjoying the trip.
And so I post some of my favorites here, so that the one brother who didn't get to make it home for Christmas gets to enjoy them too.
Definitely planning another one!
