We've has such a fun week so far. We just got back from a mini family vacation to North Carolina's southern outer banks. We knew that was one of the trips we wanted to take this summer but decided last minute to go. We left the dogs at a boarder (it's so nice not traveling with two dogs) and we were on our way. The trip started off with an airplane ride much anticipated by our little Will. "fy away, in sky" he says while making a flying motion, his hand starting from his hip up and over his head. Upon landing there was a short drive till we reached the beach. Will had a BLAST playing with daddy in the waves, piling up sand ( we forgot beach toys so had to improvise with the hotel ice bucket and lid) etc.... while Finn and I hung out on the towel trying to keep the sand and sun out of his face. Finn doesn't like when he's hot so the late afternoon beach day was not his favorite. We toured an old Civil War fort , strolled the streets of a historic water front twon, tried to find a light house (but never did), went to the beach again (earlier in the morning this time so everyone had a good time), and ended the trip with an aquarium visit. Will had the pleasure of attending the Chicago aquarium a number of times but found this one to be much more exciting as they allowed the kids to touch some of the fish. Through all that fun the icing on the cake was when we headed back to turn in our rental car and take the "Big Bus" aka Hertz shuttle back to the air port. The driver sat Will in what she called the captains chair and made a big production out of it. He was having the time of his life! As all little boys he is obsessed with big machinery especially buses. There are lots of pictures of Will and TJ, not so many of Finn and I. I was the camera women and finn was strapped to me so.............. Till next time
