So Sunday we recovered from the long drive, started to unpack and settle in. After a leisurely morning (as leisurely as it can be when your son wakes you up at 6am), we and the parents headed over to Kitty Hawk Kites, which is located in a neat little shopping center across from Jockey's Ridge. Actually, we first went to Ben Franklin crafts, aka "the Crap Store", which is basically a bunch of souveniers and.. well, crap. We were in search of a kite, so when Sterling saw that the Crap Store only had the $5 kites made out of Saran Wrap, we moved on to Kitty Hawk Kites (henceforth referred to as "KHK", because I don't want to keep typing it). We opted for a Parafoil 5, which has no sticks or anything complicated, and flies like a champ! If you refer to the photo album, you can see Sterling figuring it out, with James' supervision.
We then walked across the street to Jockey's Ridge to give 'er a go. Pics of this will be posted when we've ironed out some technical issues.
That made for a busy yet relaxing afternoon. Oh yeah, we also bought Jim some chocolate-covered coffee beans because a) he'd never heard of them, and b) he did not believe that anyone other than Jaws from the James Bond movies could actually EAT a coffee bean... too hard! Anyhoo, proven wrong, Jim consumes his coffee beans.
And so Day 1 comes to a close. Ahhh.. beach life. Oh yeah, we went to the beach, too.. that's where the pics of James and Grandaddy came from.
