Greetings from Topsail Island
I finally uploaded my pics from Topsail Beach. We had a great time. Here are some of my pics from the trip:
Will and Steph on the beach.
Kim and her friend Kristi on the beach at night.
This was the bridge that took us to the island. It's called a swing bridge, because it swings out once an hour to let bigger boats through.
This is a pic of the bridge as it swings out to let a boat through.
We visited the U.S.S. North Carolina in Wilmington on our last day. Here is a pic of Steph and Will in front of the 16 inch guns (the "big" ones on the ship)
Kim manning the 40mm guns
Stephanie taking aim with the 20mm gun at some helicopters that you can't see in the pic
Stephanie made a turtle out of the sand.
Kim and Kristi playing around.
Kim and Kristi at the playground.

Beach bound again
Well, I forgot my camera AGAIN last night for the softball game. I know, I'm an idiot. I just have too much going on right now and to top it all off, Kim broke her pinky finger on her right hand at the game last night so no softball for a while. Poor kid has to spend her Spring Break with a splint.
We are heading back to the beach tomorrow for 4 days, this time I get to relax and enjoy it and not be stuck in a conference room all day. YEAH! I will definitely bring my camera so don't worry, more pics will be coming your way!
I will be glad for 4:00 to come today so I can leave work and get packed up to leave. I still have to hit the grocery store as well, GEESH! I am procrastinating so bad lately.
My kids got their report cards yesterday and they did well as always, but I must brag on Stephanie. I can't remember if I have told you this already, so forgive me if this is a repeat, but, she is taking an AP Psychology class and is the only sophomore in it, the rest are seniors, and she is the only one that got an A in the class! I am soooo proud of her.
Well, I better go, my patient has arrived, (Late, as usual, but whatever). Have a great weekend everyone!

Fun Times at the Beach
We got back from Myrtle Beach today and the weather was great. They were calling for thunderstorms yesterday, but they never came, so my girls and hubby got to enjoy some beach time while I was in my ultrasound conference learning new things. We went to Broadway at the Beach last night which was this really neat place that had several stores, restaurants, and family activities. We played putt putt at The Dragon's Lair and ate at Johnny Rockets which was neat. It's like a 50's diner where the waiters and waitresses sing and dance to entertain you. I was done with my conference today at 12:00 so we took the girls to some outlet stores and Stephanie got her softball helmet spray painted. All the kids do it around here, it's a pretty big deal apparantly. I like the way they put the fast-pitch softballs on either side:
The girls had a great time at the beach frollicking:
This is my favorite though since they don't "get along" as well now that they are getting older, so whenever they have a sister bonding moment, I treasure it:
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
