Beach Vacation Week 2016: Day 2 - Sunday Fun-day

Daddy and Liam read some stories this morning while Pops made us breakfast (sensing a trend?), then we attended Mass at St. Egbert's Catholic Church.

Afterward we got donuts and lunch, then headed to a craft fair at the Beaufort Historic Site.  There were some great vendors to see, then Liam and Daddy walked the Beaufort Waterfront while Mommy and Nayne did some shopping.  Since it was the holiday weekend, there was a lot of boat traffic and many people hanging out on the beach of Town Marsh.  We had a seat behind Handscapes Gallery and enjoyed the shade while everyone passed by.

Unfortunately, the weather turned stormy and the Morehead City Marlins's baseball game was cancelled.  We ad libbed some entertainment, including Liam "prowling" the house as a lion and this picture captures him actually startling us when he jumped over me on the living room floor.

We stretched our legs with a Walmart run and then Liam read the paper with Nayne and Pops before bed.

Beach Vacation Week 2016: Day 1 - MUST Get to Beach!

After Pops cooked up a yummy breakfast and we finished getting our room settled in for the week, we headed down to the water for the afternoon.

There is a public beach on Bogue Sound near Nayne & Pops's house with a nice gentle slope that is a lot of fun.  At high tide the water 200 feet from shore is only about 3 1/2 - 4 feet deep, and at low tide there are tidal pools and a few raised sand bars to play on.  Another nice bonus is the channel is relatively close, so you can watch all sorts of boats going by!

Nayne and Mommy made sandwiches and brought a picnic lunch down to the beach for us.  Liam loved his turkey sandwich and lemonade on the beach!

And then someone took a hard nap, which no barking dogs, blaring party barges, or little kids wanting to make friends could wake for quite some time.

We returned to the house to clean up and eat dinner, then hung out for a little bit before two little feet carried Liam to flop sleepily into his travel bed.

Beach Vacation Week 2016: Day 0 - Travel Time!

Daddy worked today and dealt with a large outage before he could leave, so we didn't leave town until 7pm.  Fortunately, the new Hwy 70 Bypass at Goldsboro opened last month, so we still arrived at Nayne & Pops's house around 10pm after a short pit stop at the Neuse Sports Shop.

I was ready to roll after taking a nice long nap this afternoon - Mommy and I met some friends at Marbles this morning and we played hard!
