Hey everyone! We're a little behind (ok, a lot behind) in our blogging but here we are back at it! We spent the 4th of July weekend in Bluffton, SC with Em's parents. The weekend was a fun one - great weather, shopping, deep sea fishing, fireworks and much needed relaxation! On Friday, Em and his dad drove around town like pimps in Greg's pimp mobile while Meg and Annie spent the day shopping. Afterwards, we hit up Sunset Bar & Pizzeria for some good grubbin'. Then we gathered to watch fireworks.
On Saturday, the day started early as we prepared for our first-ever trip deep sea fishing. After a 2 hour boat ride out to sea, we anchored and got the fishing rods ready. We were given some brief instructions on the "do's" and "do not's" of deep sea fishing and we were ready to go! A few people here and there caught little tiny fish but nothing compared to the whopper Meg snagged about 15 minutes into fishing. Meg followed the rules and screeched "fish on!", felt a little jolt in her pole, gripped for dear life and got ready to pull out the great white shark she was sure she had snagged. After some serious tug-and-war with the sucker, Meg called over the deck hands who tried to help her reel her fish in. After what seemed like hours, Meg was informed that she did catch something - she caught her hook on the bottom of the ocean!!! The excitement subsided, everyone took their seats, Meg cowered in embarssment, and the day continued. That went on for about 2 more hours until the fishing was over and we headed back to shore. Needless to say, Em and Meg went home empty-handed but with some fun memories.
On Sunday we headed back to Rockville, MD and got ready for our next trip. Hope you enjoyed this blog!
