After our three week stint in Raleigh, we were off again on another adventure. This time we packed up on Saturday morning and headed to South Boston to visit Memo & Augs and met up with Nay-nay & Pop-pop, who were also visiting.
Upon our arrival we headed to the family favorite, O Sole Mio, for delicious steak 'n cheese sandwiches, the best this side of the Mason-Dixon line. Afterward Meghan went down for a nap, Nay-nay, Memo, & Clara headed out shopping, and Pop-pop & Daddy took Jack to the park. He had a good time swinging with Pop-pop.
Meghan enjoys the spoils from the shopping trip after dinner - creamsicles!
Sunday morning we all headed over to the park. The big kids rode their scooters while Meghan was in the stroller.
Meghan seemed to enjoy the twisty-spinning pole before she was distracted by all the fun her brother and sister were having.
"Fun in the Sun" - the title says it all.
A soggy Jack drying out on the swings.
Meghan going down the slide, then back up. And to think we were worried about her going down too fast, pshaw!
Jack slides down at an equally blistering pace.
As it turned out, we had a very busy Sunday. After regrouping for lunch at Memo's after our park trip, we proceeded to the Halifax Country Club for some pool time. We went in the early afternoon while Meghan was sleeping, and then when she woke up, Nay-nay brought her over to join in the fun.
With all the extra hands on deck, I was finally able to get a video of Clara swimming. Here she is exhibiting her backstroke.
Mega-tron-trick-a-doo jumps into the action.
Perhaps not the greatest picture, but this bush is covered with Monarch butterflies.
Cocktail hour on the patio, I tricked Memo into smiling, for the win!
The picture is a little dark, but nevertheless you can see that things have gotten a little more lax over the years at Memo's breakfast table. Apparently now it's ok to rest one's feet on the table whilst dining. Memo's gone soft.
And the highlight of the trip was that on Monday Clara, Jack, & Meghan departed with Nay-nay to embark on their week in Richmond!
