Our First Road Trip

The boys love their Gigi!!!

The did not love their life vests - but the look so cute in them.

What a great captain we had! - I mean you dad!
We recently returned from our first road trip to Lake Eufaula, Alabama. Every year my parents give us a vacation for our Christmas gift and every third week in June for the past 4 years Kevin and I have been able to cash in on this wonderful gift. Previous vacations have taken us to the Florida Keys, Las Vegas, and St. Augustine where my parents reside.Usually my sister's family is along for wherever our Christmas gift takes us, but unfortunately this year due to some family health issues on my brother-in-law's side they had to miss the now annual Winn Family Vaca. The were missed and there in spirit though. This years venue included a quaint lake house with a beautiful view and boat to go along with it. We spent 2 days driving to lovely AL to meet up with my parents. Our days were spent boating, cooking out, visiting, and of course loving on the two cutest little boys. Speaking of boys - they were huge fans of the boat. They could have done without the life vests though. But in the words of Officer Palmer "Safety first boys." I am sure you can all just hear him giving his safety speech to his two sons. They also loved the water. Mason even feel asleep while floating on one of our excursions. Every day we boated up to a new beach and had a picnic lunch on the boat or under a shade tree. It was a beautiful lake and most of the time we seemed to be the only ones on it.

We are so thankful for the many gifts we have received over the years from our parents. We had made so many memories on each vacation and have such good times we have to look back on. Time spent with loved ones is really the best gift of all. We are already looking forward to next years get together. Fingers crossed that everyone will be there.
