So, every year Scott and I participate in the Brigantine Triathlon in early August. We started talking about renting a house down on the island for a week, so we could do the race and then relax... and that is EXACTLY what we did!!
We headed down to the shore on the 4th of August, and enjoyed a few day stay at Aunt Gerry's house. The girls always enjoy visitng and "entertaining" both Aunt Gerry and her cat Oliver. We spent the day in Ocean City on friday, then stopped at Brigantine with Grandmom (who came down to spend some time with us and watch the girls during our race), played on the beach, and then picked up our "race stuff". We then all went out to dinner, and off to bed.
Saturday morning we headed to Brigantine for our 8th year doing this triathlon. The weather was perfect... or as perfect as it gets in August. Both Scott and I finished 9th in our age groups and crossed the finish line with our girls running next to us - we love this tradition!!!
Then it was back to Aunt Gerry's to shower and pack up - we were going to our beach house for the week - yeah! We picked up our keys and "moved into" the Raman - which is beach front and has a pool. Our condo was two stories with balconies and HUGE windows w every room. We loved this place and can't wait to go again. We were lucky enough to spend the week with friends. Our friends Tom and Julie (and their boys Chris and Jake) rented the condo next to ours, so we had even more fun at the beach. We also had visits from the Rapones (Jeff, Kim, Megan, and Justin) and the Turners (Kelley, Gemma, and Liam). The weather was PERFECT. The water was warm (84 degrees) and the kids had a blast. The girls are now boogie board experts!! Here are a bunch of pics of the fun we had....
