We are safely in Duck, North Carolina. The rain and wind poses limitations to beach outtings, but we are having a great trip.<\/p>\n
No wireless… so no pictures yet. We’re using my in-laws dial up for outside contact. <\/p>\n
Friends Christie, David, Steph, and Mike all came down and spent the weekend… full of great laughs. It was so wonderful to connect with old friends and we had a great time. Amy and Kevin (Paul’s sister and brother-in-law) were here, too, and we all got to bond with Will.<\/p>\n
We took Will to the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo today. Although he’d been to the NOLA Aquarium of the Americas before, this time, he really got into the fact that there were “fishies” in the tanks. Before, he was much more interested in the children’s exhibits and various pushable buttons than in any animal. Of particular obsession: otters. Much time was spent at the otter tank, with Will taking great delight in announcing the presences of “otters!” to all who came by. <\/p>\n
We haven’t spoken much of our plans and are decompressing from the week. Maybe after we both finish our novels (Paul reading a Terry Pratchet, me the book “Wicked”) we can reconnect to our real lives. Until then, it’s just a day at the beach!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
