We took a mini family vacation and made a long weekend out of last weekend. We decided to try Atlantic Beach, since we went to Wilmington a couple of times last year. We dropped Colette off in Cary on Thursday and were on our way. We got settled just in time for an early dinner at Amos Mosquitos. Seth tried calamari, and Nathan found a pearl in one of his oysters! Then we walked on the beach. The boy who showed no interest in the water in May wanted to swim in his clothes! We had beach access from the hotel, so Friday morning we went to that part of the beach. Seth kept taking Nathan on long beach walks and trips in the water. After nap time we went to the Pine Knoll Shores aquarium, by far the best of the three in NC. Seth LOVED looking at all the fish. Saturday we went to the Atlantic Beach public area, and little eagle eyes found a swing set in the sand, so he added that to his list of things to do with his dad at the beach. Seth took a HUGE nap, so we weren't able to go back to the beach, but we did get in another nice dinner. We had planned to get some beach time in Sunday morning, but it rained intermittently. We did get to walk the beach at Fort Macon and see some kites! We stopped at a McDonalds on the way home and Seth made it to the top of the playground for the first time; he was really proud of himself!
