When a sunny and 70 degree weather forecast coincides with an obligation free weekend we'd be silly not to spend it at the coast. We spent a couple days in Atlantic Beach and Beaufort, North Carolina. Some highlights included a morning walk on the beach, the
North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knolls Shores, a windy afternoon at the beach, old burying grounds in Beaufort, the
North Carolina Maritime Museum, the boat shop, and general wandering that is a part of all Dahle vacations.

| Isaac mostly wanted to be cuddled in his towel at the beach, but he did play in the sand for a few minutes. He also really enjoyed watching Jacob duck out of the way of our crazy kamikaze kite. |
