Memorial Day Weekend

The three day Memorial Day weekend flew by for us!  We were super busy and had TONS of fun, but when Monday night rolled around and we had to get ready to head back to work, I really wondered where the last three days had gone. 

Friday Shane got off work pretty early so we just spent the day around the house doing some cleaning up and organizing and lounging in the pool.  That evening, we headed up to Peninsula Town Center in Hampton just to walk around.  It was our first time going to that ‘shopping mall’ since it opened in March.  It was pretty nice!  All of the stores are outside so it like walking around a little village.  

Saturday morning, Shane and Trevor got up before I did so that they could make breakfast like they normally do every Saturday.  After breakfast, Shane and Trevor got dressed and ready to go to Babygarten while I headed up to Hampton to do some shopping at BJs.  Saturday afternoon Trevor took a long nap so I was able to get a lot of housecleaning done and then head outside to work on cleaning the pool before he woke up.  We went to the Saturday evening mass as a family and then had dinner with Andrea and Chris before heading back to Portsmouth for the night. 

Sunday morning I got up and went into work for a few hours while the boys hung out at home and waited for my parents to come into town.  They arrived at around 1 and then Cliff came over after having been out to sea for a month.  We all enjoyed swimming in the pool for the afternoon and cooked out on the grill.  We had gotten enough sun(burn) by about 6 and came in the house just in time for the skies to open up with a wicked storm that lasted all of 30 minutes.  Too bad it didn’t cool the temperature off so much.  

Monday we played it pretty low key and the three of us hung out at the house most of the day.  After lunch we headed out and spent the afternoon in the pool and later on in the afternoon Andrea and Chris came by to cool off with us.  After they headed home for the day and Trevor was in bed for the night, I settled in to watch Sex in the City…..no, I don’t mean that I went to the theater to watch the second movie.  nor do I mean that I re-watched my DVD collection (however, if someone has the seasons on DVD and would like to let me borrow them, please let me know)  I watched the first movie….for the first time.  I know that I am like two years late, and even more years late to be watching the show…but I loved the movie—boy, I was missing out!

Anyway, we had a great Memorial Day weekend….it was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy being together with family and good friends.  We definitely are thankful to all service members—past, present and future, that make it possible for us to enjoy weekends like this at all.
