Our Beach Vacation - Day 1

Our greatly anticipated vacation finally arrived. We left Ohio at 5:00 am and headed for North Carolina. Kendall and her family flew in from Utah, Krista flew in from Maryland, and Nick and his family drove down from Ohio. We all met in Raleigh and joined up with the Nobles.

The highlight, of course, was seeing our granddaughters:

Marlee Peyton with Grandma

Rhaegan Krista (of course being a ham).

Marlee wasn't feeling very well, but she still was darling and smiled at everyone.

Krista's mother-in-law lives in the Raleigh area, so she and the doctor she works for were able to join us for dinner. It was great to see them both again. The last time I had seen them was at Krista and Josh's wedding.

We ate at Ted's Montana Grill. It's speciality is Bison (buffalo). I'm not a real fan of buffalo so I ate my chicken, but the others really enjoyed their beast. The Noble's (in the foreground) are our beach buddies. We go to the beach every year with them and their children.

This year, though, Quinten and his family and their daughter, Suzi, are not able to come.

We will miss having them with us.

Let the fun begin!
