Dan's Birthday Week!

This week, Dan turned 33! Reagan woke up her Daddy by snuggling in next to him in bed. Once awake, Dan noticed that a tooth had arrived just in time for his birthday! Dan was quite busy this past week, so we waited until the weekend to celebrate. We had about 25 people from Duke over to the house to watch the Jets/Pats game, and to eat cake, ice cream, and appetizers. Reagan also arranged for the Jets to win for his birthday! Reagan had many playmates at the party. In fact, we didn't really get any pictures of the grown-ups! Happy Birthday, Dan!

RMB at OBX with GPK

Reagan went on her first trip to the Outer Banks with Grandpa Keith! We had reservations for Thursday and Friday but Hurricane Earl decided to hit Cape Hatteras (a point about 8 miles from our hotel) on Friday morning at 2 AM. We left Raleigh at 9 AM on Friday and we were in the Outer Banks by 2 PM. Many sights were closed, so we enjoyed some seafood at the Black Pelican, Jockey Ridge State Park and its sand dunes, and the enormous waves after the storm. Only residents were there because all tourists had been evacuated the day prior. On Saturday, we did a little sightseeing as things started to open: The Currituck Lighthouse in Corolla, the Currituck Sound and Wildlife Preserve, The National Wright Brothers Historical Sight, and Fishbones Seafood Restaurant. We had a great time! As we went back to Raleigh, we saw the cars, trucks, boats and campers by the dozens swarming into the island for the holiday weekend. We enjoyed having the Outer Banks to ourselves for a day. We will definitely be going back with Daddy when he isn't so busy with school!
