North Car-o-lina!

We took a trip to North Carolina to visit our framily the Tessems this past week. Myla did great on the airplane - had a great time smiling at the people around her and just playing really. The ride out there she took some little 20 minute snoozers that kept her refreshed until we arrived at our final destination. We wasted no time in taking in the sights and hopped in the car the next day to visit the ocean.

Myla was not scared of the waves or the noise at all and really liked to get down there and get her feet wet. And of course she loved to eat the sand! She did get a few waves that came right up into her face but she didn't seem to mind the salty taste either. She had lots of fun watching the kids splash and run and build sand castles and hunt for shells.

We saw so many things - the American Tobacco Campus, the Durham Bulls stadium and where they filmed "Bull Durham" - and took in some of the local cuisine. We visited the Duke gardens and walked around the campus some. Johnny tried his hand at trail running at sea level, but seeing as how he doesn't run, it was a little harder than he thought.

We had a great time and were really sad when it was time to leave. Thank you Tessems for showing us around! See you again soon!
