Sometimes I get slapped in the face and reminded that I'm not as young as I think I am! I got another little reminder over the weekend.
I was riding in the car with my mom and she was listening to 3WS, which if you aren't aware 3WS is the OLDIES station... and my mom can listen to it all she wants because she is "old" hahaha and a Grandma and all of that. I'm still YOUNG and COOL... until....
Beastie Boys came on!
I thought maybe she changed the station or something. Nope... I'm just officially old enough now that my favorite songs from high school are now on the oldies station....
I had to make sure to be back from the beach in time for Ashley's shower. Ashley is another one of my very best friends, she is getting married to Jeremy on October 5th. Lyla and I are both lucky enough to be in her wedding as well!
Ashley's shower was at Narcisi Winery and we did it with a peacock theme. The weather was great and it was a lovely afternoon!
Erin & Andy getting married at the beach also allowed us to take a family vacation at the same time. Erin's parents were sweet enough to invite us to stay at the beach house that they got for their family. It was Lyla's first time in a car that long and her first time at the beach. Let me just say that I have never been prouder of her! It was a 12 hour car ride each way. She only took one nap the whole time we were there. Her schedule was completely thrown.... BUT she was the best behaved little girl you have ever seen! The three of us had SO MUCH FUN together!
Lyla loved playing in the sand at the beach, but was terrified of the ocean. She loved swimming in the pool at the house. She got to play mini golf for the first time and actually did pretty good! We went for ice cream and she had "Purple Cow" which we all just found totally hilarious!
By staying at the house it allowed Gary and I to put Lyla to bed at night and then still get to hang out with everyone without having to find somebody to stay with Lyla. We had parties on the porch and live music. I got to catch up with old friends while Gary made some new ones.
I really forgot how great it is to just get away and forget about everything for a couple of days! I hope we get to go away again next summer!
