riding a ferry

This morning we rode the ferry to Fort Fisher and headed straight for the NC Aquarium.

A ferry ride is - generally speaking - a great way to start your day.


We saw a huge ship (mostly empty) headed for the ports at Wilmington.  It was flying the American flag, not sure where it was coming from, or what kind of cargo it carried, but I bet that ship has some stories to tell.  


This baby face looks innocent enough - his white blond curls and piercing blue eyes grab plenty of attention.


But he is a riot on the beach.


They all are!

We enjoyed our aquarium visit, and picnic at the Fort Fisher historical site, and stop at the county library (on the way back to the house) to pick up a pile of books.

But it's the beach that really holds the attention of these little people.  We are practically the only people here this week... and like my dad says, "there's plenty of sand and water for everyone".

So happy for your time at the beach. Just want to be right along side of you all watching and enjoying the white curls and blue and brown eyes. Miss you. Jan
