We had intentions of heading to the lake for Labor Day weekend, but decided we would head to Manchester the following weeekend for my birthday. Joe and I both love the water and knew we wouldn't be satisfied staying at home so we packed up and headed to the coast. We are so blessed not only to have vacation homes, but that the coast is only 30 minutes away!On Friday I met Natalee Miles at her parent's (Sid and Lana) home for lunch. Sid and Lana practically raised me and I love the fact that they only live a few houses down from the coast house; it is like having a little piece of home with me. I had to post a picture of their adorable house!
Mr. Moe and I met Mrs. Gay at the Shellman Bluff Home Décor Store to look at a dresser for Baby Gill’s nursery. Mrs. Gay and I had been eyeing the dresser for weeks now so Captain bought this for their first grand-daughter to enjoy! This is an after picture of the dresser, we had the lady who painted the dresser change the color of the bows; they are now the same color as the nursery walls.
Joe got to the Bluff just in time to gas up the boat and get it into the water for the long weekend. JT’s was calling our names so after the boat was in the water we headed out for pizza.
Saturday morning we were up and at’em early. Joe and I had breakfast at Clyde’s and did some running around before heading off to Skipper’s Restaurant by boat. We took a crew with us to Darien to eat: Mrs. Gay, Mr. Moe, Mrs. Gayle (Joe’s grandmother), Mr. Ronald (Joe’s grandfather), Logan and Layne (Joe’s cousins) all joined us along with the Hendrix (Paula, Mark, Aidan, and Jack) in their boat. We had a great lunch at Skipper’s and had fun looking around at the shops in Darien.

Shrimp boats docked in Darien.
Sunday Joe and I decided to head to St. Catherine’s to see some friends. St. Catherine’s is a private island only accessable by boat so we were able to enjoy another beautiful day in the boat. It is so relaxing to be on the water without a care in the world!
Monday we lounged before heading back to Fleming. Joe needed to do some things at the farm so Mrs. Gay and I took off to Savannah for some shopping. Baby Gill got some new outfits and I was able to find a few things for the house.
It’s always nice to have relaxing weekends doing whatever we want to do! I can’t wait for this weekend to hopefully see some of my favorite people!
