Happy Independence Day Week!!


Bloggin' from the beach this week...it's raining...seems we brought it here from Charlotte!! Love it down here where I feel a little bit away from reality, but I have to say that I'm a little sad to be missing all of the awesome kid and family-friendly activities that The Queen City has to offer this week. Lots of fun for Independence Day on Thursday, but an all around FUN FILLED week. Lots to do everyday...enjoy!!
