The Beach, The Tigers, Good Eats, Good Friends, all on the way home...


Ahhh..... V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!




After a successful week in Charlotte, and because Maeve was proving herself such a good traveler, we decided to venture to the Outer Banks for a few days of pure vacation. It was fabulous - warm, sandy, and relaxing. And, thanks to Maeve, we saw some things we normally wouldn't see on vacation (like the sunrise).







We had our share of fresh fish - every meal except breakfasts we ordered from Diamond Shoals, a seafood market where they grill their local catches to our requests, and then hand them over to us, so we could go back to our balcony and eat in front of the ocean. We got to know the employees there pretty well.










On our way back, we cruised through DC, and stopped for a cheeseburger at Five Guys, as endorsed by Pres. Obama. It's endorsed by us now, too. Yum city!






Last stop before home was Maeve's first Tiger game at Comerica Park in Detroit. Danny got us great tickets, but Maeve didn't seem too interested yet... she slept through the whole thing.




The Dads!









By the end of the trip, Maeve was smiling regularly, so we think it worked for her.




It sure is good to be home!

  1. It's great to have you back home. I think little Miss Maeve knows all about vacations now: good food, relaxation and lots of smiles ... fabulous life lessons learned from the masters.
