North Carolina

IMG_5714
We had a completely wonderful time in North Carolina last week, so I wanted to share some of the highlights!

First off, the scenery was gorgeous. The photo above was the view we woke up to every morning. And there was a balcony with rocking chair right off the bedroom we stayed in! W loved climbing up into the chair and rocking the daylights out of it all of the time...
...a vigorous activity that usually led him to want a snack directly after...
...which was always a good idea, because of course we weren't just sitting around in rocking chairs all day! We had a few activities to attend to. Allow me to illustrate:

1. Making sure the playground equipment was in good working order
2. Perfecting golf technique with Great-Grandpa Budd
3. Hanging out lakeside with Grandma Riki
4. Going horseback riding and surveying the stables with a bunch of totally awesome cousins
5. Going fishing
6. Learning how to paddle a canoe
7. Visiting with a family of swans:
8. Making new (amazingly color-coordinated!) friends
9. Eating ice cream
10. Celebrating 65 years of love
