Recap

Well - Pops got the message (Thank you, Pops and Nina for your expertise!) from reading the last post and promptly sent out some great pictures that we (okay - HE took the really good ones) got this weekend.
So with the kids watching "Thomas the Tank Engine", I'm going to try to get as many of these up as I can.

This is what we got to wake up to in the morning (we had an unobstructed view of the water from the crow's nest on our roof)...

With the weather being so gorgeous, we got to spend a good amount of time at the beach. The kids had not been to the ocean before (I think the venture to see Plymouth Rock doesn't count - Plymouth Harbor is like a big salt lake) and they were really diggin' it. Pun intended. The official pastime was digging trenches. They became houses, pools, castles, beds - you name it. You could tell where we were on the beach - it looked like the Western Front.
It was a blast. Even if Nate did come home with two pounds of sand in his diaper...






We also went to Duck Donuts. A beautiful sight to behold. Like Krispy Kreme - only better (and more artery clogging)...you actually get to pick out your topping and glaze. Mmmmmm...
We went to Jockey Ridge (we did not see Jim Palmer). It was really amazing. Our legs were really sore for a few days from walking in the sand...






Jennette's Pier was fun, too. We got to see fisherman catch Spiny Tailed Dogfish (they looked like miniature sharks) and skates. We also got to talk to some locals who gave us the scoop on where to (and not to) go.


And here are a few random shots taken in the cottage...
We are really, really looking forward to going back. =-)
