Our summer calendar is officially taking shape. Of course, we'll be hitting the beach with DaddyP's fam again this summer. The plan this year is to skip out on Fort Walton and head to Grayton. We'll be staying here, and oh my goodness. Can June get here any sooner? This photo is from the site, and I acknowledge I did not take it. I do; however, hope that you'll check out the site and plan a visit! This will be our first time for our large group to stay in a beach house, but as you can see, it's a large house and should accomodate us. No condo for us, hoohoo!
For our annual camping trip with my family, we'll be heading here. We are oh-so-very excited! The pic below is from the site, and again, I fully acknowledge that it was taken by some wonderfully talented person other than myself. However, my intentions are purely to advertise the supreme beauty of the locale in hopes that you will also travel to Rio for a vacay of your own! This place has been recommended to the fam, so we're looking forward to experiencing us some Frio! We'll be within an hour's drive of a skip across the border for some market shopping. If we dare, and I don't know if we do, but perhaps we'll be feeling brave! Looking forward to some lazy tubing on the river, swimming in some cool river pools, and we heard the fishing is good!

We've travelled with both sides of our family each summer for the past 4 years, and it's becoming a great family tradition. The cousins on each side look forward to our annual To-Do lists, and this year is no exception. We are ready!!

Other than that, we're hoping to return to northern Arkansas in May where we spent a week at Christmas, spend some time at the Village with Grandma/Grandpa on the lake, and a trip or two here and there for DaddyP and I. One of them we are very excited about! We'll be staying here with friends! BEAUTIFUL! I think this place is gorgeous!

SUMMER, WHERE ARE YOU?!
