And now the not so posed beach pictures...

We chose this weekend so that we could all watch the royal wedding together. Although Blythe did not see it live, she was brought into the festivities upon her wake up. She loooooves her Aunt TRog and Aunt TRog's pearls.

While the guys played golf, the girls headed to the Strand to shop and eat ice cream

We had plenty of chill time around the house




And, of course, we took the girls to the beach

The only downside to the weekend, and it was a biggie, was the plague. Blythe and I had a nasty stomach bug the few days before we left (which we did warn everyone about) but it spread like wildfire. The count is now at 7 victims. I'm so sorry, y'all!
