The kids and I headed to myrtle beach over spring break last week for a long overdue trip with our best friends, the Whitaker family. Unfortunately not everyone was able to be there buy considering its been about 5 years since we did a trip together, we did good getting who we could there! I felt like my life had come full circle spending that week with my childhood friends and watching our children form relationships with each other that will last them a lifetime.
Short history- out parents were friends through work before we were born and we grew up together in our very early childhood. We were basically family! Then the Whitakers moved for job reasons and ended up living in Delaware. Due to the distance, our families met "halfway" once a year at the beach for a week of vacation and fun- this became a longstanding tradition for all of us but sadly stopped when wedding budgets started to put a crimp on the vacation budget... Now us "kids" have kids and they met for the first time during our Spring break which just happened to coincide with their spring break! The Whitakers are family to me and will always remain so- they have always been the best kind of friends-- the ones that no matter how long it's been since you've seen them or talked to them, you pick right back up where you left off and it's as though no time had passed.
