Household Reunion in Holden Seashore
The Craig household is additional massive and further enjoyable! Thomas’s mother, Eileen, has 5 siblings. 4 of the Craigs and their children 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 had been lacking, it was nice to see everybody in actual life. An enormous 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 embellished, effectively appointed, and had a lot of bedrooms and an important pool.
