Let’s continue on with the details of the rest of our trip…
We left Savannah to head to Fripp Island around 2:45 PM. I would’ve loved to stay in Savannah longer (and maybe revisit Paula’s restaurant for supper…haha), but we had a surprise party to decorate for! Savannah to Fripp is such an easy drive…only about 1 1/2 hours. Mom had no idea what we were up to, but Aunt Gale had the idea that we should surprise Mom with a party to celebrate her beating breast cancer. I’d already bought the decorations, Aunt Gale got a cake, and everyone brought presents. We were planning to get everyone else there before Mom, Dad, and Jenn arrived. Luckily, that wasn’t too hard because they were running late! When Mom walked in, she was definitely surprised!! I’m glad we pulled it off!

Rachel…An “Over-achieva Diva”
Rachel’s Wave Rider….a gag gift from Aunt Gale! :)
Totally surprised!

The party was a great start to the week! The rest of the week was a lot of fun too. Even though it rained most of the week, it was just great to spend time with the family. It was actually fairly cool outside for it being June at the beach…nowhere near 90 degrees like it sometimes is! We played games, watched a lot of basketball and softball, and of course, we fed the deer. I spent a lot of the week reading the Hunger Games books plus one other book. 4 books in one week! :)
We definitely had to eat at Dockside one night…I look forward to that every year. It was awesome just like it always is! They make really good she-crab soup and hushpuppies :)
The whole clan…minus Kathleen! :(
Don’t you just love Mom’s new ‘do?? I love it!
We also celebrated Travis’s birthday while we were at Fripp. He’s 26 years old now!! Can’t believe it! I still feel like we should be college age…
Socks and undershirts…I guess he IS getting old! :)
We had a such a great time at Fripp this year!! It’s always a bummer to have to get back to “real life” after having so much fun. Next year, we should just stay for a whole month instead of a week! :)
