Carolina Beach 2012

Summer began with crummy weather so I started my to do list. My wonderful dad and mom did some house upgrades while I agreed to do interviews for the new teacher librarian. The garage is now a gorgeous gray with an expoxy floor with colored flecks. They finished up while I went to the beach. Thanks mom and dad! My first vacation this summer was with Hao and family. They rented a glowing green little beach shack a block from the beach. I arrived late Wedensday evening. On Thursday I got up and went for a run. It was not too hot and not too breezy. Here are a few pictures from my run. We went to the beach but had to move locations because Baloo (Luuly and Brad's new puppy) was only allowed in one part of the beach. We had great fun in the morning. That afternoon a cool breeze blew in and it was a bit chilly to sit on the beach. That night I went with Hao, John, HaLien, and Hoang Linh to the little carnival. The kids had fun riding a few rides. We also enjoyed Britt's donuts. After the carnival fun we joined Brad and Luuly back at the house for a crab boil. First we had to find a pot big enough. We had to ask the beach neighbors for a big pot which turned out to be the same size as the pot we started with :) When it was finished it was delicious.

The next day we had more chilly beach time but it was still fun. That afternoon we enjoyed a swim at Brad and Luuly's hotel in Wilmington. It was a quick trip but a perfect start to summer!
