Memorial Day Weekend

Michael and I got to spend Memorial Day weekend in Brunswick, Ga. It was really fun and nice because my new job makes spending quality time with each other hard. We spent alot of time on Jekyll Island which I LOVED!! I want to take another trip and stay on the island. Basically the weekend went like this: Sleep, read, fall and go boom, beach, beach, and more beach. Did you catch the "fall and go boom" part? Well that was the only not so wonderful part of the trip. I was in the shower (which was very slippery from the stuff the hotel used to clean it), and I turned to grab my razor and I slipped and fell out of the shower, somehow making a 180 degree turn, pulled down the shower curtain, and the hit the toilet with my hip, which shattered the toilet seat.... embarrassing? Yes.... Painful? Heck yes!!! And I think I gave poor Michael a heart attack! He wanted to take me to the ER, but I wouldn't let him take me since I don't have insurance again for another month and a half... and I knew I wasn't seriously injured because as soon as I stopped shaking and sheding some tears, I did every range of motion test I know... but now I do have a VERY impressive bruise. I'm including a pic of it, but the picture sooo does not do it justice.

So now to the good part! This trip was the first time I had ever seen the Atlantic Ocean! It was so fun swimming with the big waves! The water was the perfect temperature but a little muddyish. Once I overcame my fear of something unknown possibly brushing against me (or a shark eating me) I was ok.

I fell in love the house right before the bridge, and the bridge was pretty awesome too!! All in all it was a great trip!! I can't wait to go back!

We decided to go home on little roads and drove through some really cool little towns. One town had 3 American flags every 15-25 feet all through town in honor of the fallen soldiers! Then we saw a sign for Ameila Island and took a detour there. It was so crowded that we couldn't even find a parking spot near the beach, so we didn't leave the car. I wish we could have stayed there a little bit because the water was really clear... oh well!!

I hope everyone else had a good long weekend!!
