We made it to our house in Corolla, NC yesterday and though we did hit some traffic now and then, overall we made very good time arriving around 2:00 PM. Although the house wasn’t available until 4:00 PM we made use of the community pool until then; great way to relax after being in the car for 8 hours.
Our friends Gil, Kim, Kim’s mom Phyllis and their 2 kids made it down here about 5:45 PM just in time to help with getting a big spaghetti dinner onto the table. After stuffing out bellies (yeah you’re right Dr. Atkins is “tsk, tsking” me) we sat around playing with the kids and just relaxing. I whipped up a blender full of Amaretto sours on the rocks for Kim and I while Gil sipped his normal Black Russian. My wife being allergic to alcohol stuck to her lemonade. Note: have to learn how to make a non-alcoholic Strawberry Shortcake.
After Kim and Gils kids (1 and 4 years old) went to bed, Gil whipped out his Xbox for a bit of fun. My son and daughter put a serious spanking on both of us while playing Gotham.
Having a great time at camp Hiawatha wish you could all be here – what a blogging riot that would be. Just have to find a house with broadband next year.
