We have successfully made our yearly migration to the beach! By we I mean my mom, two of my sisters and my and grandma. We are also about a month early. All these things have to do with my summer schedule. I am taking an intensive greek class at that school in Austin ALL summer long. My mom didn't want me to miss out on the beach so we decided that us (college) girls would head to the beach early! YAY!
Catherine and I flew out of Midland International Airport Sunday morning, we met my mom and grandma in Dallas, they had flown from the San Angelo airport. Then we flew to Norfolk, VA where we met Candace who had flown from Houston to Miami to Norfolk. Quite an exciting way to meet up don't you think?
Well from Norfolk we jumped in our rental car and headed to Nags Head, NC, home of our beach house. It's only a 90 mile drive, but it was already dark and it's been raining since we got here...not much beach time :(
Oh well I'm still sitting in my bedroom with my windows open, listening to the ocean roll in and out, the rain hitting the shingles, and my sisters cleaning downstairs (hahaha), waiting on my mom to get back with some delicious Dixie BBQ, pork not brisket as we are in the South and not in Texas. All in all it's going to be an awesome 2 weeks (if it stops raining).
Camilla: in Roman mythology, legendary Volscian maiden who became a warrior and was a favourite of the goddess Diana. According to the Roman poet Virgil (Aeneid, Books VII and XI), her father, Metabus, was fleeing from his enemies with the infant Camilla when he encountered the Amisenus (Amazenus) River. He fastened the child to a javelin, dedicated her to Diana, and hurled her across the river. He then swam to the opposite bank, where he rejoined Camilla.
FUN.
