Today we got started late because Emily and I slept in. The four of us headed out to see the battleship, stopping on the way to check out a catamaran and to drive by the port (there are some very cool and enormous cranes). We also stopped to get some coffee downtown in a nice little coffee shop where the additional shots were $.25 (which was also the price of a handful of chocolate covered coffee beans, yum). The battleship was way cool as always, even though I can't even imagine life aboard the ship. Only 10 men died on her during WWII. Even though there was a torpedo strike below the water line that blasted an 18 x 32 foot hole in her.
After the battleship we went downtown to Nikki's to have lunch. It was delicious. Emily enjoyed looking at all the stores downtown, especially Blackbeard's Bryde, where she enjoyed all the things that she loved about Light Years when it was open in Greensboro. I enjoyed having some coffee, the boats outside, and seeing so many people tooling around on bicycles.
After that we came back to Dad's house and ate a delicious falafel dinner. Cornbread acted up and tried to eat everything in Dad's house, so he stayed in his cage most of the day. Tomorrow we head out to Myrtle Beach to the condo to bsorb some rays and totally veg out. I plan on getting some serious reading done. Emily may meet up with a friend of hers in Myrtle Beach, but Cornbread and I will eat twinkies and read on the faux leather couch to our hearts content. We may try to rent bikes for a day and ride around. I'm having issues uploading photos right now but will try to add some later (or maybe on tomorrow's blog).
