Beachy

So, we made it to Carolina Beach on Friday evening, but weren't able to get a campsite. Hopefully next time that won't be the case. At any rate, we stayed at a motel along the beach, and went out to swim first thing Saturday morning -- the boys woke us at 6:40 in the morning, so we were able to get ready and out in the water before the swimmers and sun bathers. The fishers were out much earlier than us.

After a few hours at the beach, and just before the sun would become a real issue, we headed to the state park for a picnic lunch, and then to the aquarium at Fort Fisher. After enjoying the cool sharks, jellyfish, etc., touching some sting rays, starfish, and sea urchins, and having some ice cream, and after G decided to leave through the gate of no return about 5 minutes before the rest of us were prepared to go, we moved on to the Fort Fisher historical site. It was awesome to see the boys so excited about the Civil War, and to hear K explain so many things to G. They were able to run off some steam at a park on our way home, as well as take a peek at the World's Largest Frying Pan, and so the drive was relatively quiet.

Tomorrow, K begins his week long drama camp. It will be interesting to see what part he gets, and how the week unfolds. We'll update after his performance at the end of the week!
