Household Reunion in Holden Seashore
The Craig household is further massive and additional enjoyable! Thomas’s mother, Eileen, has 5 siblings. 4 of the Craigs and their youngsters and grandkids met in Holden Seashore for a long-awaited household reunion. They hadn’t had one since earlier than I joined the household in 2017. Whereas just a few key gamers have been lacking, it was nice to see everybody in actual life. A giant group flew in from the West Coast, and others got here from Tennessee and Georgia. Plus us – the Cville crew!
We selected Holden Seashore as a central assembly zone and since Thomas’s cousin, Andrea, did a superb job planning the weekend and hooking us up with a coworkers home. The home was SO properly adorned, properly appointed, and had a number of bedrooms and a fantastic pool.
