NC: Day 1

I have big plans for our week here. I didn't realize how much cool stuff there was to do around Southport, and even though we drove so we packed some toys, and Meamaw and Grandpa got some toys for the kids, I knew (especially with curious crawling baby) that we couldn't spend lazy days relaxing at home.

So today we started with breakfast at Taylor's for their favorite purple pancakes. Which I thought were great. Even if the kids didn't agree.

It wasn't very nice, so we headed to the Southport Maritime museum. It was small but had a good number of entertaining things for the kids to play with. MiniM.E. especially liked the real sail rigging.

We decided to head to Wilmington about a half hour away to visit their well-reviewed Children's Museum since most of the Southport activities were outdoors.

Meamaw and Grandpa stayed home to prepare for the big day we have planned at Myrtle Beach tomorrow.

The Children's Museum was definitely worth the trip. The girls LOVED it, until they decided to have a fire drill.

Fortunately the weather cleared so we had a snack at a restaurant by the water and watched the boats.

Back home for dinner and early to bed!
