Sunny Ormond weekend :) January 12, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — blondemusician @ 4:46 am

So this past weekend Ang, Stephen and I took a road trip to Ormond Beach to visit our wonderful Ormond/Daytona friends. We had a superb weekend…very chill. We got there Friday night in time for dinner with Rayna and the Urquharts (one of my favorite families ever) along with Sam and Khrysten . We sat around talking and laughing after dinner and ate brownies. Saturday we were going to go see the sunrise but decided later that night not to…ha. So Ang, Rayna, Steve and I went to McDonalds for breakfast, then later met Sam at Starbucks while he was on break, ate lunch, and just chilled, played music, walked on the beach, had a fantastic stir-fry dinner made by RAYNA and played apples to apples, which is becoming a tradition, I think. And today we went to church, lunch, chilled some more, and we three Gainesvillians sadly departed from our friends to head back home once again. It was a very fun and refreshing weekend! 

I wish you all could know how dear Rayna and her family and our other close friends there are to us…Rayna, dear, i love and miss you already. And it was so great to see you other wonderful ladies as well!  :) 

 

And now, as always, here are way too many pictures. :) can’t say I didn’t warn you…
