Memorial Weekend
This is somewhat belated but, sorry, I've been busy. Over Memorial Day weekend, Mark, our friends Candice and Michael Cormican, and I went down to stay with my family. It was a weekend of relaxing, food and fun. We left right after Mark got done with his Friday classes and got to my sister's place for dinner around 6ish. She made us some delicious twice-baked potatoes and pork. Yummy. The highlight (of the entire weekend) was when I walked in the door and Emma said hi to me before Mark. That has never happened before. And Maddalyn remembered us, which was exciting as well. After dinner, we headed to my parent's, about 30 mins away. Of course my mom welcomed us with some great cookies, and we just chatted with the fam for a few hours. Correction, Candice and I chatted; Michael and Mark quickly found the X-Box in my brother's room and were there most of the night.
Saturday morning we were up bright and early, ready to head to the beach. My mom made us a fantastic breakfast and we headed off to the Crab Trap around 10. Although a gigantic pipe covered most of the beach (which my dad later told me was pumping sand back to the shore, trying to make up for all of the hurricanes), we had a great time. Candice and I probably could've stayed all day, but Michael's fair skin couldn't last longer than 3-4 hours. 
After the beach, we did a little shopping and then headed out to my favorite restaurant for dinner. Dinner was amazing, as always, and followed by our favorite dessert.
Sunday we went to church (which is much more amusing with 2 toddlers) and celebrated Maddalyn's 2nd birthday. We ate food for about 50 and took long naps. A great day.
Monday was spent at the beach again, this time with almost the entire Pearce/Gouker clan. 
The red flag conditions didn't sway anyone from entering the water, and the weather was perfect. We probably could've stayed much longer, but unfortunately we had to return to jobs/school. 
The drive home that evening was pretty uneventful, although I do have to give Mark a shout-out for the fastest commute time ever. All in all, a great weekend.
