Moms' Coffee Date

Those long summer days are waning, and school days are almost here. We are excited to share our top 10 highlights of this summer with you! Sara's Top 5 are: 1.  Our family vacation to Cancun !! It is crazy to see how much our blog has grown since then! I didn't write about anything other than the place we stayed! I missed a huge opportunity to share with you the fun we had! Maybe I can later post a more detailed retrospective. We had a blast! Eddie and I renewed our vows on the beach for our 15th Anniversary! We went on a jungle tour and snorkeling! (We don't have pictures because cameras/phones don't mix with water!) We swam with dolphins! We played in the pool, and at the beach! We spent time with my Aunt, my Mom and my niece! It really is one of the best family trips in recent memory! 2.  Outer Banks Trip Part 1 ;  Part 2 It was such a wonderful visit with my family! I really love spending time with my sister! I get to see her and her family...

As you can probably tell, my family enjoys taking day trips during the summer.  The school year is hectic, so we try to fit in as many getaways as we can during the summer months.  Our latest day trip took us to Luray Caverns .  My oldest daughter is really interested in geology, so she really wanted to go. We got to there around 9:45 and there was no wait.  The line was really long when we finished our tour around 11:30.  I would definitely suggest getting there early if you can, to avoid the long line. My pictures are definitely not going to do Luray Caverns justice.  It is really breathtaking and a must-see for everyone!  My husband, who is a history buff, was not too excited to go but he said at the end of the tour that he was definitely glad that we went. The tour is a little over a mile long.  At one point you are 164 feet below the Earth's surface!  We were definitely in awe of everything that we saw. Abov...
