Summer Vacation

August 18-24, we packed up and visited NC. The travel gods were smiling on us; we managed to miss an earthquake (we were in the air) and a hurricane (which is passing through NC as I write this). The weather was wonderful; it's normally hellishly hot there this time of year but during our trip is was very pleasant. We spent quality time with my mom, her boyfriend Dan, my brother Danny, and his girlfriend Randi in Sanford (cue Sanford & Sons theme song). We visited the Depot park (Zak is still talking about the choo choo) and Adventure Landing in Raleigh.

After a few days there, the Keepers and my mom headed for the beach. Zak was terrified of the waves but enjoyed the sand. Isabel ran right into the ocean, although she preferred the pool overall. Other than my hair being a disaster the entire trip, everything went smoothly and we had a fun last hurrah before heading back to OH in time for Kindergarten to start.

She is so freakin' adorable
