The First Gilpin Family Blog

Hello all,

Today I am starting the 1st Gilpin Family Blog. I have never written a blog before, so here goes.

My original intention for this blog was to capture the daily undertakings of our vacation this summer. This will be our first week long vacation in quite a while. Although we do take the boat out regularly throughout the summer months, we still have not had an extended vacation, so now were going to change that.

This year, May 15 - May 22 we will be taking off on an adventure to Sandbridge Beach, Virginia. Sandbridge is often referred to as the northern most Outer Banks due to is fantastic landscapes, sea scapes and seclusion. We have never been there before so we will embark on our journey sight unseen. . . . . . (Except for the pic on the internet of course!)

Joining us on our trip will be my mom and Grandpa Joe'. We are all looking forward to a little R&R and week long spell of "Mikieisms". The saying goes "Don't kids just say the darndest things", but in our family we have "Mikieisms", we are sure to be entertained with his witty antics for sure.

So, with 11 days to go, the countdown begins, although Donna has been unofficially counting down since the day we booked the condo. Sandbridge Beach, here we come!
