Living on the East Coast has its perks, like being close to family friends! We drove down to New Bern, NC, with a quick stop in Raleigh for some barbecue, to visit family friends the Comers and Grandma Eileen.
I had taken Alex to visit Maureen and Jim back when he was 2 and while he loved the beach, wearing a life jacket was his most least favorite thing, and boy did he fuss about it! This trip, we couldn't get the kids off the boats! It was great to tool around the Neuse River in their deck boat and watch the kids play hide and seek on their "big" boat while it was docked. We even got to take a night ride, with Tater the dog on board.
It was great to see their "new" house, post-Hurricane Irene renovations, and to spend time with my Mom as well. Everyone loved the beach at Emerald Isle and enjoyed having Daddy there to ride the waves too! Brad and I even snuck in a date night at the lovely Persimmons Restaurant, where we'd also had a big family brunch earlier that day. The kids got a kick out of riding the boat all the way from the backyard, right up to the dock of the restaurant in downtown New Bern. So. Much. Fun!
