I feel good...

Pretty much I'm really happy right now. After a LONG day of driving with Linds, Trav, and the kids we finally pulled into The Newport Coast Villas, greeted by all our family members. I LOVE the feeling of getting to your vacation destination after being stuffed in a car for 11 hours. We pull up and we are greeted with an amazing dinner. My fam had eaten before we got there, so it was all ready for us. (Nothing like getting out of being stuffed in a car to a yummy Sunday dinner!) My mom greeted us with her "welcome buckets" complete with a beach towel, supersoaker squirt gun (yep they're still around), candy, towel clips, a beach bag, electric toothbrush, water torpedoes....yep my mom is pretty much adorable. I love have always loved holidays because my mom has always made such a big deal of them. She made it feel like our arrival was a holiday, and I loved that!! Basically, she rocks. After some catching up over some strawberry shortcake we decided to walk around and look at the resort. Let me just add that the weather here is perfect. We all walked around and checked everything out. I love this place. I will NOT have a hard time staying here all week that is for sure. My brother Tyler challenged me to some teatherball. I actually wasn't even aware that it was a real game with rules. I thought you just hit it and watched it wind around the pole. Turns out I kind of love the game...i'm going to have to work on my form while i'm here. Finishing the night off with games and getting to go to be with OUT setting my alarm. This is going to be a good week.
