Summertime

Summer has been full of so much fun! A quick run down of what's kept us busy the last few months....

My little now big brother Kevin graduated Hugh school! I'm so proud! Four Oswald's through Monterey High- the end of a generation....

Soon after.. Jayme turned 25 and celebrated hanging at the beach and picnicing with Laurel and our soon-to-be nephew miller.

We went to North Carolina for our two year anniversary. We had an amazing time and explored so many places. We stayed at Wild Dunes Resort, which is run by Destination Hotels (the company we both work for), and really enjoyed seeing the east coast beach and the Southern charm of the place (we even tried She Crab soup and grits!). We went to Boone Plantation which started in 1745. We toured the grounds, and the main house, which is still furnished like it was in the 1800's. So beautiful! They had a butterfly garden in a greenhouse where there were beautiful flowers and huge butterflies all around. The plantation once grew cotton and pecans, and still harvest strawberries, tomatoes, and pumpkins, as well as many other fruits and vegetables. At one time the plantation was owned by a Russian prince who raised horses- one of his horses was Secretariat!

We drove to Georgia for the day and hung around Savannah. It was much HOTTER in Savannah and the mossy trees and cobblestones were picturesque, but there were lots of little flies throughout the air. We visited River Street, some churches, and an old graveyard.
