In a moment of insanity, John and I decided that we would make the 14 hour trip in the car, rather than flying. We felt like there was too much stuff to get on a plane. So, we loaded up suitcases, travel high chair, pack-n-play, cooler, snacks, beach games, etc. and left the house a little before 7 on Wednesday night. Thankfully our plan worked and Chance slept until we stopped for the night. The next morning we were back on the road bright and early and got to Wrightsville Beach around 7 pm on Thursday. Chance did good in the car....napped, entertained himself, snacked, and when he was restless we busted out the ipad for a little Mickey Mouse.
It was fun seeing all of John's college friends. Their group has grown over the years and now in attendance were girlfriends, fiances, spouses, and for the first time....kids! Chance was so excited to have an older friend there to play with him.
The weekend was so much fun. Our house was at one time a duplex but it had been opened up so there were two good sized living rooms, two kitchens, and lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. It was also right on the beach, which was great. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed spending both Friday and Saturday at the beach. Nights were spent enjoying good food, drinks, and hang out time around the house.
Sunday morning came way too quickly. We made the drive back in one day and it really wasn't bad. We timed it where Chance slept a lot and we also made a couple extra stops to stretch our legs. All the driving was more than worth it. We had a great weekend catching up with good friends. Can't wait until the next reunion trip!
