My Little Blogging Hiatus

OK, so recently I haven't blogged, or menu-planned, or anything else that I usually do...I have been on vacation. It started with a visit to the Army post where my husband was in OSUT. We (there was a bus-load of three adults, 1 teenager, and 5 kids) had family day with him, watched him graduate, and brought him home!!

DD9 did not want to let her daddy go!

Well, we came home for a few days and then off to Charleston, SC we went for a week! It was awesome! We toured Ft. Sumter, Boone Hall Plantation, Patriot's Point, and lots of other places. We ate lots of good (but not good-for-you) food. We went to a great 4th of July Festival and saw some terrific fireworks (which was definitely a plus considering our town wasn't even doing a fireworks display for the 4th).

On our way back home, we detoured to Savannah, GA. We had a nice time there until it was finally time to come on home...and we are glad to be back!
