We are enjoying ourselves on vacation. I am loving spending time with Matt and the girls. It’s been a LONG time since we took a week off together just for fun. We have taken some 4 day weekends but I think the last time we took an entire week was 2005. That was to Park City Utah and revolved around Masters National cycling races…. Can honestly say that I don’t miss that. Miss some of the people but not having every part of life revolve around “the bike”.
We drove through the night last Friday. Or I should say Matt drove through the night. The kids slept–Alexa pretty well, Piper also pretty well though not as well as A and Tori quite fitfully. I dozed. We got to Smithfield, NC around 11AM and found a spot to get the kids out of jammas and into clothes as we couldn’t check into our hotel yet. The plan was to get a nap and spend the day at the Carolina Premium outlet there. We shopped till around 2 then got into our hotel where we were able to get much wanted showers and naps. Then back to shopping. More shopping Sunday morning then on to Pine Knoll Shores.
Time for the beach……will continue later!
