V Is For Virginia

I love a good road trip!  This year marks the fifth anniversary of our Annual Girls Road Trip!  And to celebrate, we are adding an extra person (hey there, Casey!) and a new location.  It's actually fitting that we celebrate this anniversary once again visiting Tara, since it all started back in 2008 when we went to see her in Charleston, SC.  That year, I swore that as a graduation present Amber would get to see the ocean, and with an assist in the lodging department, it totally happened!

 The next year, Amber was living in St. Louis (aka the STL), so I went to stay with her and a then-baby Butters!  We went to the spa, ate all kinds of goodness, raided Trader Joe's and checked out some art.

 In 2010, it was all about the beach again.  This time we headed to the Redneck Riviera, Gulf Shore, AL!  It was so much fun that we had to do it all again in 2011!

I am really looking forward Virginia!   It will be nice to all be together, which is always a good time yet happens so rarely, and we will be celebrating a certain little girl's first birthday!  Nothing says summer like a good vacation!
