Alex's First Vacation

Monday August 28. Alex is enjoying many firsts, including his first pool experience. See all his exciting adventures on Day 1 of Beach Week.
Tuesday August 29. More beach, more pool, more fun!
Wed/Thurs August 30/31. Alex calmly awaits his first hurricane (mostly by napping and smiling)
Friday September 1 Wind, rain and flooding as Ernesto hits North Carolina. The Outer Banks were largely spared as the storm came ashore further west.
Saturday September 2 The day after Ernesto couldn't have been nicer as Alex enjoyed his last full day in North Cackalacky. We saw two piers, sat out by the pool, and ate loads of fried food for dinner. Alex found out exactly what sort of parents he had, too, when he woke in a puddle of his own excrement after we all took two hour naps without changing him out of his "swimmy diaper" first, which led to another first: his first shower with his dad.

Sunday September 3. Back from the beach. Alex was very good on the 5 hour car ride and slept most of the way. See the big tree limb that fell in our yard while we were gone from Tropical Storm Ernesto.
