Heading home..........

Shrimp Boats, Fernandina Beach

Still trying to get a few last minute things packed. Can't wait to get home for the Shrimp Festival. 45 years ago my grandfather and some friends founded this yearly festival. It's like a family reunion of sorts. Although I am the black sheep of the family and dont eat seafood, I will enjoy the other yummies at the festival. ie blooming onion and funnell cakes and maybe some pirates punch :)



Sunday we leave for the happiest place on earth. I am so excited, all Emily talks about is meeting the mermaid LOL. Can you tell what her favorite movie is right now. :)

So in honor of NSD and all my fun activities I would like to offer a chance for a RAK. Leave me some love through out this weekend on this post and I will draw a name next Wed, after we get back from Disney. You never know I could feel really generous when I get back and draw 2 names, but you gotta leave some love :)

BIG O
