Vacation with the Reeds: Flashback Friday

Our Summer vacation this year was a week at Holden Beach, NC with my best friend Rene' and her family.
Holden Beach is quiet. Our beach house was right smack on the beach.  What luxury!  Out the back door and into the sand.

(then a 5 minute walk down the sand to the ice cream store, also smack on the beach)

It was the most relaxing week of my life.  But being on vacation with the Reeds again gave me several flashback moments......



We spent a week together in the outerbanks near Cape Hatteras back in 2000:

 Here's to good friends

And good beaches!
