Random but fun musings.....

Clearly, time is moving fast, and yet with a two year old, the days can seem to crawl, especially if it is raining outside. Today is one of the those days, which means I get to blog about those times when we are having fun. This weekend, there was a nice break in the weather, so Daniel and I took the opportunity to try out Kure Beach on Saturday. The best part was the drive down was just right for a young child. No more than 3 hours in the car, and we were at our destination. We took ourselves and our gear out to the beach, found a good spot, and got set up. Few mishaps occurred though, one, the shade tent we bought became a kite because of the strong winds, and our belief that a now older Hannah would enjoy the beach more, was way off. She cried almost the entire time because she hated the water and sun. She didn't really have much fun until mom and dad started playing in the sand, and then she decided it was okay to play along. By that time, we had been there for about two hours, and all of us were getting hungry. So, slightly deflated, we packed up, rinsed off and ate lunch at a nice park nearby. Thank goodness for shady parks, and swings. :)  To make our trip to the beach a little more worthwhile, we made a trip over to the Fort Fisher Aquarium which was so cute! The fish were fun to see as well as the different marine life, but I wish they had more things to do for adults since we paid more than anticipated for Daniel and I. Anyway, overall it was nice to get out and do something  different than just being at home. Here are few pictures for your enjoyment!
