Vacation 2009

It's been a summer of change for everyone so we treated ourselves to a ten day vacation on the NC coast. We shared the trip with friends Carolyn, Ward, and almost two year old Alex. Doug's parents and his Aunt Betsy/Uncle Jeff couldn't resist joining us for the Labor Day weekend.

Everyone had a great time. Both kids traveled well. Grant was just along for the ride but we managed to do the following with Morgan:

1. Introduce Morgan to the joys of fresh seafood. He ate and enjoyed clams, softshell crab, and crab cakes.
2. Played in the ocean + Boogy Boarded + Skim Boarded
3. Successfully fished for crab off lines and in traps.
4. Visited the NC Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores
5. Visited the Maritime Museum in Beaufort.

The ease of travel was definitely a light at the end of the tunnel moment for us. Doug and I use to travel a decent amount prior to kids. Our hope was that kids could easily join us in our adventures. Unfortunately with Morgan, this wasn't really the case. Now he's old enough to know that good behavior is a must when we travel and hopefully Grant will continue with the easy going personality.
