oak island, nc

we headed to the atlantic over the weekend to soak up some sun and catch a little r&r on oak island. well we got a big dose of sun but not too much r&r. we're discovering that's pretty hard to come by with a little one. jake absolutely adored the water. the atlantic was much warmer than the pacific and he was pleasantly surprised. he giggled and laughed as i held his hands while the waves crashed at our feet. we built sand mounds, dug holes and played with the enormous dog that belonged to the people next to us. we broke our umbrella in the demonic winds, jake took a tumble in the water once (oops) and we ate our nasty lunch that we got at a local restaurant where a horribly rude waitress worked. food-wise it was not the greatest vacation. but even with flies buzzing around our dinner that night i looked out to the water and thought, it's because of all these funny instances that we will even remember this vacation. then jake shook his groove thang on the dock and clapped with the end of every song. everyone around us was quite smitten with our lil' guy. his butt bounce/chicken wing move is pretty amazing. it was a weekend to be remembered and i feel grateful to have my guys in my life. see ya next time beach!
