Footprints in the Sand!

In less than 30 days... my husband and I will be leaving for Panama City Beach, Florida to spend some much needed time with our loved ones on a Zellner Family Vacation. This vacation although much needed will be a very special treat. Ray and I will be taking our longest road trip together... just the two of us... and driving for 12 1/2 hours to meet up with the fam for almost a week of fun in the sun and total relaxation!

Another interesting factoid is that this has turned out to be a "kids vacation" ... another good reason to still end up at the kiddie table during Thanksgiving :).... and while we will absolutely miss the other members of our family, I feel so very excited and honored to have all three of my wonderful sister-in-laws, their boyfriends, my brother-in-law, my beautiful niece, 2 strapping young boys (Farrah's brother and friend) as well as my amazing hubby to share this wonderful experience with!

And boy... am I ready for a vacation?!?!?! Again this is more rhetoric than anything... It is just amazing that we'll be able to enjoy a summer vacation:) Speaking of summer and enjoying some fun in the sun... I might want to start working on that. Having a full time job and staying indoors all day has kind of hindered the whole concept of getting a little color before our big trip. What am I saying... I am pale all the time. So Tan Towel it is... yay for spray tans! Yes I've told my secret. I did absolutely no tanning before the wedding/honeymoon. All fake but still I had a very healthy glow so I have a little room to brag. Ha!

The truth of the matter is... I am just beside myself counting down these days. For months I've been dreaming of the moment that Ray and I would be able to head down to Florida for an amazing vacation and such a wonderful time to catch up with my family. I really do value every moment I have with these ladies and gents! I cannot express to you just how much I love them and how lucky and honored I am to have so many wonderful people in my life that I wouldn't have had before meeting my husband. So do expect a great deal of posts... a ton of pictures... and lots of updates! To my family... I can't wait to see you... less than 30 days and we'll be together again... drink in hand and feet in the sand! Love you all! Until then... I will leave you with this last image...

Panama City Beach...
