NC Friday

We made it to North Carolina on Wednesday! C played, nursed, and slept on the short flight here. Thursday we went to a Durham Museum of Life and Science and a barbecue restaurant for dinner. Today we took a long morning walk to a farm and later drove to the beach. No pictures from today yet but here are some from yesterday's adventure!

C got very quiet and stared at everything at the museum.

My sister-in-law Christine carrying her nearly 2 year old Charlotte and me carrying C.


Charlotte's reaction to the butterflies in the greenhouse area. She was so delighted by everything!!


C's reaction. As mentioned before, he just got very serious and stared. He tends to do this when he's amazed by life:)

We (Micah, Jeremy, and I) played with my camera.


C cheesing for his daddy while looking at the animals. Yep, this museum even had farm animals:)


Admiring the pigs.


What Charlotte did on the way home from the museum.


What C did on the way home. Yeah, different babies, different sleep habits:)

Tomorrow the BEACH!!! Btw, watching both babies see the ocean and sand tonight was very fun. Will try to post video of it tomorrow:)

Ah, Sweet Delights

One of my favorite things to do is sit and read Travelzoo's weekly e-mail, informing me of all the delightful deals I could be getting somewhere in the world. And one day, when we have kids and I'm not a teacher, we'll abandon the chillens at one of our parents and go on a January vacation. We'll sleep late in Venice again, finally go to Budapest, cruise on the Russian rivers, and picnic on a green Irish hill. Then we'll come home, hug our polite, obedient children and leave in February for a short US trip. Perhaps New York again, but this time we'll be at a high rise, 5 star, downtown hotel. We'll sleep late there too. And we'll have aTV in our bedroom, something we don't allow ourselves to have here at home.

Of course we'll have to be rolling in the dough for this. But I think we can swing a January vacation every once in a while.
