Amy enjoying our fantastic view. We were not beach front, but there was not a house in front of ours, so we had a great view.

Our house had an infinity edge pool too.

Mama was recuperating from a fall, so she was forced to go with us. I think, deep down, Mama really enjoyed herself.

We wound up coming back to Knoxville with just Zack after leaving the beach. He was an only child all week and was soooooo easy by himself! No one for him to pester!

We went swimming at the Y.

Then out to eat at Newk's. Zack enjoyed being an only child while it lasted!

Drew is still working on "his kitchen"
