Henry made his first trip to the ocean during our recent stay with my parents in North Carolina! We decided to drive to Wrightsville Beach for the afternoon and evening. Wrightsville is just outside of Wilmington, N.C., and is less than a two hour drive from Raleigh.
Here we are at Johnnie Mercer's boardwalk, watching the fishers, the surfers and the seagulls. We bought Henry a Johnnie Mercer's t-shirt to commemorate the occasion.

| Mark bet me that I wouldn't sit on the ledge. I'm surprised he thought he had a chance of winning. I would have stood, but it made him too nervous ;-) |

Next, we ventured to the ocean. Henry had fallen asleep by this point and was not overly thrilled with being woken up to dip his toes in the water. So, he returned to the stroller to hang out with Grandma, and Mark and I had fun on the surf.

| Mark wanted to spoof the trendy "jumping" pose. I'm embarrassed to say that his jump was better than mine. See below. |
We ended the day with a dinner al fresco at the Oceanic, our favorite Wrightsville restaurant. It was a great day and a mini-vacation for all of us.
