First Blog and Vacation

My family has been saying "Do a blog! Do a blog!" From my cousin Danny to my Sister, the SAGAB (Self absorbed grove avenue bride) it's been suggested that I follow in their footsteps. And so I have. And what better way to start then with a review of our vacation!

We went to the outer banks with my mother and sister to rent a beach house that belonged to some very rich family. There we lived the life of celebrity movie stars for a few days. We hit the beach, where our son Robbie ran back and forth from our blanket to the water. He was on a mission to fill the entire ocean with sand and shells and threw two small fistfulls in the water everytime. He failed in his mission. He had to go take a nap before he could accomplish his goal.

Robbie also completely ignored mom and dad and only paid attention to Nana, (my mom) and his aunt E, (my sister) and Tod, (also known as the "fiance").

We went out to Manteo and visited Fetival Park where they had a replica sail boat the English first used to sail to the area. Robbie was impressed with being on a boat like that. He thinks himself a pirate and now has the hat, sword, hook, and pistol to prove it! We also went to the aquarium there where Robbie got to pet manta rays and see a huge Sand tiger shark. Robbie was impressed. He thinks himself a marine biologist and can name many sharks and fish to prove it.

Aunt E's Fiance was forced to cook for us, as he is quite the cook. He made an appropraite shrimp and scallop dinner for us and we allowed him to sleep in the beach house. Aunt E's Fiance and I also threw the football on the beach and we impressed all the ladys of the shore with major acts of highlight reel athletics including an amazing diving catch by Todd.

All good things and all. We had to come home where we were saddend to realize there was no Ocean around our house. Pictures will be coming up, proving that we were indeed there.
