Oak Island Beach Vacation

A week relaxing and playing together in Oak Island, NC was just the right vacation for us. Most days we spent time on the beach in the morning and late afternoon. During the mid-day hours we explored nearby Southport, played Wii, read/played legos, and napped. It was all wonderful.

Cyrus and his boats make their way towards the water.

Eliza happy in her private cabana.

Cyrus contemplates the waves (the surf was quite calm all week).

The boy loves to run.

On our one rainy day we visited the aquarium at Fort Fisher, where one of the star attractions was this albino alligator.

A pretend rest.

Favorites were: jellyfish (Cyrus), shrimp (Marcie) & turtles (Jeff).

Ferry back from Fort Fisher and the aquarium.

Hot kids on the ferry; Cyrus likes to navigate for us.

As featured on Jeffrey's Facebook profile...

Cyrus did many, many "canonballs" into the pool.

Bye-bye beach, see you next time.
