Rockport

We spent last weekend with my family at the coast in Rockport. We go almost every year and stay in my Dad's company's condo on the water. It's a fun getaway! I love Rockport - it is so laid back and charming! It was also my niece Grace's first trip anywhere! It was fun getting to spend a whole weekend with my Dolly!

We had several excellent meals - lots of yummy shrimp and an amazing italian dinner - YUM! Everytime we go, each couple picks a movie they want to share with the family and we watch them there. It doesn't have to be a movie no one else has seen - just one you think the group would enjoy. The movie you pick is always a secret until we watch it. This year we watched Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil (Mom & Dad's pick), So I Married an Axe Murderer (mine and Cam's pick), and Team America (Lizzie & Corey's pick). The guys went fishing Sunday morning and caught a ton of fish!

 

The weirdest thing happened on the trip down there! Lizzie, Corey, Grace, Cam & I were in the car driving in the dark down a two lane road. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, we ran over an already-dead deer that was laying in the road. It was scary and jarring, but we were relieved we weren't the ones to kill Bambi. Then THE SMELL hit us! The smell of death hit us and stayed in the car for about 20 minutes. It was terrible! If you've seen the movie Tommy Boy, there's a similar scene in the movie. I had a cherry limeade from Sonic and opened it up and we all started passing it around and smelling the lime! Poor little Dolly's tiny nostrils! Luckily the smell went away after awhile, but OMG, it was just one of those weird moments you'll never forget.
