This was our first family vacation since Uncle Jeff died last fall. He was missed at the wedding, but when Julia walked up to me one morning carrying her kite, the tears flowed. Uncle Jeff loved kites. He would bring dozens of them to the beach every year. Their bedroom looked like a kite shop. He loved to take them down on the beach, sometimes having dozens in the air at a time. He always gave the kids a chance to fly them, too. Julia was excited to get hers up in the sky...
We know you were there watching down on all of us, Uncle Jeff. We miss you...
It was a beautiful and amazing week- full of friends, memories, family, food, and fun. This will be a vacation that all others will be compared to for many years. We are so blessed by all the people who spent the wedding weekend and week with us. We all left relaxed, refreshed, and hearts overflowing.
Goodbye island! Thanks for the memories! See you next summer!
