Happy 8th Birthday, Nick

We celebrated Nick's birthday today. Nick's birthday closes out our March Madness.
Spring Break was much needed and wonderful. We road tripped down to Brunswick, Georgia. Rob and I honeymooned at Sea Island, which is just a couple miles away. We rented a beautiful house that backed up to a tidal marsh. It was fun to experience the changes first hand. Nick loved catching crabs and watching them sneak in and out of the tunnels. Although we had a pool, the weather was not ideal. Rob and the kids did the polar plunge on our last night. 
We visited Savannah, Tybee Island, Saint Simon's Island, Jekyll Island, and Brunswick. We traveled through the Smokey Mountains on our way down and Jefferson Forest on the way home. We spent as much time as we could combing the beaches for seashells. Nick loved finding all the jellyfish. Ellie created shell artwork in the sand. 
It was unusual for us to not really have a planned out vacation but much needed.we didn't really do museums or anything terribly educational but we had a blast. We wish it could have been longer but it was still great. Although we did stop into a couple thrift stores, I didn't really buy anything. I did experience my first Goodwill outlet. Wasn't bad but too much work for me.
We celebrated at Mom and Dad's house. Mom made pork, corn, potatoes, and salads. A MineCraft inspired cake for dessert. 
Looking forward to getting back into the swing of it this week.visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
