This year we weren't able to make it to Fripp Island for our family reunion. Parker and Lane were both able to take off work, but at the end of the week {and then Lane was tasked to fly around the world and didn't go at all.} Karen and her family were able to go, but at the beginning of the week. Even though they could have gone, they were still missing out on things at home and they were having to squeeze the trip in. Since they weren't coming when anyone else was coming they decided to save the stress and not come to the east coast at all.
Mimi and Pop had already ordered our annual towels, so we got them this year for Christmas. We also had to miss out on our family picture that we usually take, so we made do and took pictures in front of the Christmas mantel with our beach towels. It wasn't quite the same, but we made do with what we had! It was good to be able to see everyone, even if it wasn't while we were enjoying the sun, sand, and water.
