Days 407-408: To The Beach and Back Again

This weekend, Issa and I headed East for the last competition of the season. We were in Oak Island, and for the first time in over a year we got a hotel room. We were so impressed by how sealed everything in our room was, and they actually wiped all of the elevator buttons in between families.

Issa had a really solid dance day, but the highlight was really the girl time. After the competition, we pulled a Gilmore Girls Chinese order:

We did some online shopping and laughed until I fell asleep. Saturday morning, we got up for a beach walk before making the drive home. We found a horseshoe crab shell and some coral, which was really cool:

It was so, so nice to have some time away with just my girl:

She just cracks me up. Please notice holey jeans make great silverware holders:

When we got back Saturday, we met up with Mom and Shannon for dinner outside at Gatewood. It was a lovely full-circle moment since it was our last dinner our before the world closed down:

We are still only eating outside where we can stay way far apart, but it was so fun to sit and laugh for two hours with really hot, fresh food someone else made.

Yesterday, we had a much calmer day. I did yoga and yardwork, where I found this little friend:

He made it back to his nest, thankfully.

This week is looking to be another busy one, but it shouldn't be too crazy!
