Atlantic Beach or bust!

Our beach week has been a roller coaster.  It was extremely hot and sunny when we got here and we had three great days of heat and sunshine, but the last 48 hours have truly sucked.  It's rained nonstop.  And it doesn't appear to be letting up.  I'm ready to throw in the towel and finish out our vacation back at the house in Raleigh.  Either way, here are some pictures from the last few days:


We arrived at the beach on Sunday afternoon and checked into our condo.  I was pleasantly surprised at how large it was.  The Peppertree resort was built in the 70s and you can tell that they are starting to update the units to bring them into the 21st century.  The condo was clean, completely outfitted with everything we needed and the boys were very excited.


We decided to drive back over the bridge and have dinner on the water front in Morehead City the first night.  We ate at a local joint called the Ruddy Duck and Jayson was finally able to get his seafood fix.  The boys had a great time looking at all of the fishing boats that were pulling in to dock for the night.  You can tell these kids love the coast - they were asking me if we could never go back home.  Brier even said "Mom, I want to live here forever."  God I love that kid.  He is more like me every single day.


Our second day was exhausting.  We were out on the beach before 9am and stayed there until lunchtime.  Back to the condo for a bite to eat and then it was time to check out the pool.  Back for dinner and then back to the pool again!  I have never been that tired in my life.  Brier was practically falling asleep before we were even in our jammies.  They boys are having such a great time and Tyler has practically learned how to swim all by himself in the first 2 hours.


Day 3 was on the beach again.  And the pool.  Again.  See a pattern?


Hooray for getting a tan naturally!!  You see that smile?  It's completely genuine.  Man I love it here.


Unfortunately it's done nothing but rain all day on Wednesday and Thursday.  We spent it at the aquarium and in the movie theater.  I admittedly haven't taken many pictures because of it.  Sigh...
