1st Birthday Party







I thought it was necessary to take a break from our vacation posts to share some visuals of Micah's birthday party that was this morning.

I'll try to get everything I want to post up here in the next few days, but my words will be limited. We're traveling to Illinois next weekend and I need to get as far ahead on my school work as I can before we leave. With that, I leave you with these...

Riding The Waves

Micah enjoyed the waves, and I enjoyed laughing at his daddy's facial expressions in all of these pictures. I enjoyed them so much I decided to share them with you!









HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICAH!

HE'S ONE TODAY!





Oh, wow! Look how he's grown up!

Beach

Micah really enjoyed playing in the sand with his pale and shovel.







If you thought this was cute, just wait until I post the pictures and videos of him in the water.

Bill

Other than a brief time after we stepped off of the plane in Charleston, we had no rain and sunshine every day we were on vacation. And, boy was it hot! Don't get me wrong, I love the summer days and humidity, but it's been a while since I've spent a summer in the south. It took me a day or two to get used to it again.

I shot this video from the widow's walk of our condo when we first arrived.


Saturday morning as we were packing up to leave, I shot this video of the beach. Hurricane Bill was somewhere off of the coast of North and South Carolina at the time. We did not have to evacuate or take any extreme precautions. They advised that we not swim in the ocean due to dangerous currents though. We didn't have any rain either. I feel sorry for the people who were just arriving for their vacation though. This is what remained of the beach.

Carolina

Honestly, I should be reading for my class that starts tomorrow, but I just can find anything interesting about supply and demand equations and curves.

As mentioned in the previous post, we got pictures of the South Carolina and North Carolina state signs. Here's the proof!










So, this isn't the only thing we did on vacation. I have a bunch of pictures, well, a ton of pictures I want to post on here, but rather than overwhelm you with all of them at once, I'm gonna break it up into several posts. Plus, I really need to read the next 50 pages in my Econ book before tomorrow. Doesn't that sound like tons of fun?

Here's a taste of what's to come...Micah as he first discovers sand.
