Over the past week we got to take our block leave (summer vacation). We drove down to where Russell's mom lives in North Carolina and spent a few days there visiting with the in-laws. They even threw us a baby shower!!!

Then we all packed up (again) and drove down to Oak Island where Russells' mom owns a house within a mile of the beach. We spent 5 days there just relaxing, watching TV, playing cards, and swimming in the ocean. It was so relaxing!!!!




Out to dinner at a nice Italian restaurant
