Rachel graduates! + fun at the beach

My baby sister/Kyra's aunt Rachel graduated from FSU today! We're so proud of you! We drove to Tallahassee Friday afternoon and met Rachel, her mom, step-dad, grandmother, and cousin, as well as my brother Walt and nephew Little Reuben at a restaurant for dinner. We had a wonderful meal and throughly enjoyed catching up.

Saturday morning we rose early for breakfast and then went to Rachel's graduation ceremony. Pictured above are Rachel and her mom, Julie. Rachel and Julie (and Kyra) talked me into going to their home in Panama City Beach to spend the night after graduation. I love the beach and although I've had a lot of beach time in North Carolina, I longed for time on the beach with Kyra. So they twisted my arm and off we went. Although I desparately needed a nap, we went to the beach shortly after arriving at their house. We had a great time playing in the ocean and building a beach spa/salon. Kyra had a blast adorning Rachel and me with seaweed wraps. And I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Rachel and seeing Kyra so happy. What an amazing day!
