After a full day at the beach…
last update: 09/04 @ 21:07

…you gotta get some ZZZZZs.

I hope to pop up photos from the trip sometime this weekend. We had a blast (an exhausting blast). We even stayed an extra day because the weather was so perfect and it gave us a chance to hang out with friends who also wanted one last shot of beach summertime fun before school starts.

Gliding Along
last update: 09/03 @ 11:04

There are more things to do here at the birthplace of powered flight than play in the sand and surf (and pools) — and watch fire trucks. We all ran down a hill with a kite strapped to our backs :) Robert, Sarah and I all had a great time.

Rude Awakening
last update: 09/01 @ 08:34

Not the morning we expected this morning. A surprising coincidence: just about the time the breakfast started this morning, so did the fire alarm. False alarm as far as anyone would tell us. But it’s good to know that the alarm is loud enough to wake us up. And they we’ve learned the right things to do: we checked the temperature of the door and took the stairs down.

Not in Alexandria
last update: 09/01 @ 08:29

We ran away from Alexandria to check out the Outer Banks before school starts next week. And we brought the sparklers that we never used for July 4th. Robert spelled out Hi on the beach.
