Hello Blog Friends, How are you? George and I are doing fine and hoping for Spring to finally get here! In March we took a nine day trip to celebrate George's 80th Birthday (March 9). We first drove to the beach (Ocean Isle) and spent two days. We walked on the beach; Ate seafood and prime rib; and Walked in our favorite park (Sunset Beach).
Then we drove to Florida (near Tampa) and visited George's son and daughter-in-law. We enjoyed LOTS of great food; Relaxing in their gorgeous Gazebo; catching up with family; and enjoying the delicous Strawberry Cake!!!
Hope you enjoy the pictures!!
Hugs,
Betsy💝💛💚💕

We both enjoy walking on the beach --even when it's foggy and windy!

I love hearing and seeing the ROAR of the waves.

On George's actual birthday (March 9), he chose to go to Boundary House in Calabash, NC for some of the best Prime Rib EVER!!!!! Yum!
|
 |
And of course, we had to check out all of the Christmas trees and decorations at Callahan's of Calabash... Oh how I love that store!!!!
|
 |
Then it was off to sunny, beautiful, warm FLORIDA. This is Bob and Melissa's back yard!!! SO gorgeous!!

 |
Relaxing in their comfy Gazebo was awesome!

The Birthday Boy is definitely RELAXED!!!!

Next came the beautiful Strawberry Cake for the Birthday Boy.

We had a beautiful trip, and you summarized it beautifully. I do think, however, that you have too many pictures of the old man.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Betsy! And you are both looking so well! I think my favorite is the layers of little waves you captured. Please wish George a very belated happy birthday from me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to George and I'm hoping I turn 80 some day. That Florida stop sure looks like a fine place to spend some vacation time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday George! I'm glad you had such a wonderful trip to see family and wonderful sights along the way.

Fabulous pictures! Those are probably some of the biggest smiles I have ever seen on George's face! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA lovely post to celebrate George's Birthday. He is so fit and adventurous for his age. It sure looks like he had a fabulous birthday with his family and 'beautiful bride'.
ReplyDeleteWhat a milestone! Congrats to you sweet and lovely husband, Betsy. Coincidentally, his birthday is the same as 2 of my grandsons. Ryan was 21 and Mason 7 (both in the same family).
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and George's birthday trip looks like a dream come true. Ocean, family, and prime rib! Oh, not to mention luscious looking cake.
Big hugs. I'm hoping to get back to blogging once more. So many good people are bloggers. <3
i will try to post more later......but wanted to say I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!! Missed you
ReplyDeleteDear Betsy. thanks so much for sharing George's 80th birthday with us via words and pictures. He looks so happy. The word "delight" seems to define the expression in his eyes and on his lips and the smiling cheeks.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, getting to 80 is "pretty darn wonderful!!!!" Hope all is well. Take care. Peace.
