Back from North Carolina

Back from our trip to North Carolina, where we spent a week vacationing in New Bern, with the Moms, then a weekend visit with our friend, Amir, in Durham. While we were there, we celebrated Chris's 30th Birthday. Here are some photo highlights:





Thanks to all of you who sent pictures and movies for Chris to view on his big day. He was really surprised, and had such a laugh from all of the submissions!

We had a special visitor, Chris's sister, Jessie, came to see us from Savannah, Georgia. Jessie got to meet Owen for the first time. They definitely hit it off from the start!





We toured the small town of New Bern one day, and drove about 45 minutes to the beach on another afternoon. Chris was really looking forward to introducing Owen to the Ocean...one of his favorite places to be. In the pictures, it looks cloudy...but the sun came through a few minutes later, and we got to play in the water for a little while.

Owen was so exhausted from the excitement, that he promptly fell asleep on Grandma Crystal's shoulder before she even made it back to her beach chair.

Chris and I had a little time to swim with the fishies. The water was pretty warm!

We went on to see Amir in Durham. We ate falafel, and he made us homemade chocolate lava cake at his lovely home. Yum! I like Durham!





now we have to get back to life at home. Chris said he needed to get back to the office, so he could rest from all of our travels!
