If I can figure out how to post video, I will put up some memories from our trip to North Carolina. But for now I will just write in a few highlights.
1. Archie adored his cousins, and tried to do everything they did, he especially liked to hold Nick's hand as we walked down the beach, so cute!
2. We tried to body surf in the cold water on a hot day. It was mostly us getting knocked down by salty monsters but it was a lot of fun.
3. We walked through pouring rain to eat "the best Mexican food on the planet", it was worth it.
4. I read a book and didn't watch tv and it was great.
5. I know this might sound a little crazy but I LOVE exercising in the humidity of the east, the west is just tooooo hot, but I got to go running on the beach and around the beach houses, and it reminded me of summers in Michigan.
6. Ben and I ate ice cream on the beach... the tide was coming in and the sand was cooling off from the day, it was a perfect date.
7. Dr. Brady (Sam) graduated and that was pretty cool. Mohammad Yunis spoke at his graduation and that was also wonderful. And Arch only squirmed and kicked a little during the graduation day- we strategically sat at the very top of the bleachers so we would be able to exit any time we wanted. As it turned out, Archie was pretty content as long as he could get out every once in a while and go pick up some rocks.
8. We got to spend a lot of time with Natalie's family as well, the Dorsey's and that was fun. Overall, a really amazing trip.
