Hello Followers and Friends!
Jigsy and TT here!

Today we slowly dragged ourselves out of Diane's bed and packed up for a day out to the beach.  Jigsy pulled the short straw and had to sit in the back with J for the 2 hour adventure; but, she lucked out because J fell asleep the whole way!  Good thing because TT did NOT have a good morning and almost lost her breakfast out the window (we had a good night last night).  We went to an old cotton mill that was turned into a fun little maze of shops with lots of doors that J had to touch, slam, open, kick, or scream for.  We also almost had to buy a glass blown ornament that J just had to touch as well. 

From the maze we went shopping and got fun sunglasses, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and a shovel and pail for J (TT almost got a free ride in a police cruiser when she walked out without paying - no, we did NOT go back!).  Our adventure continued as we headed to the beach!  YAY!  We definitely did not think it would be as cold as it was, but we made the best of it and had a great time.  We took LOTS of adorable pictures.  Jigsy dared to take an icy dip with J in the water...FREEZING.  TT "accidently" hit Di in the head with J's brand new pail.  Di, of course, needed first aid immediately...hahhahahah.

We headed to the Aquarium and had a great time walking around with Daddy Doll (a doll that has J's dad's picture as the face.)  On our way home Diane INSISTED that we lose 5 years of our lives and clog our arteries by having mozzarella sticks and ice cream for dinner.  You would think those would be easy to find...but no... apparently in this state "cheesy bread" and "mozzarella sticks" are the same thing.  (On a side note: what the heck is a SunDrop?) 

Jigsy had an amazing plan to keep J entertained for our long car rides.  We wrapped his favorite toys in aluminum foil and gave them to him one by one to open and play with.  Unfortunately Di wrapped several misfit toys with dead batteries.  What did it matter to her? She got to drive the whole time!  TT had a great time picking up tin foil bits at the end of the trip.
