Lilah survived her first roadtrip to the Outer Banks. It was tough going with the three hour drive and sleeping in a new place. The new bedroom was the real killer. Sounding like a full fledge banshee was trying to get some Zzzz's in the next room. The first night sucked. The second night wasn't as bad and tonight she's even still worked up though she's in the friendly confines of her own room. Ugh. Plus, packing and lugging all this crap back and forth seems to add even more time on to travel. Felt like we should've been there already when all we'd done was pack the car.
Regardless it was fun. The weather could've been a little better, but we still got down to the beach and let Lilah run some sand through her tootsies. Got to hang with some old friends we haven't seen since our wedding. Checked out their new crib, got the dirt on some other old friends and then went out for hibachi. Unfortunately, Lilah isn't a big fan of fire and loud clanging noises, which made dinner interesting. She did get to wear the chef's hat though.
Got zero drawing done. The closest I got was watching a 'Heroes' marathon on Sci-Fi and reading half of my FF Essential Vol.6. Hooked on some 'Heroes' now, too. Just in time for the season finale tomorrow. I've got the best timing...

That is one cute beach bunny. Lilah looks good too.
Awww. My first trip to the beach with Alex I remember thinking "It's going to be a long time until a trip to the beach will be the relaxing excursion it once was." I mourned that for a bit - still do when I'm hovering over Alex in the surf and all I want to do is nap in the sand - but I'm coming around to the joys of watching my children form their own relationship with the ocean. The amount of crap that relationship requires is, I agree, mind-blowing.
My turn!
Great work.
