Summer Vacation: Part 1

Here's the first glimpse of our summer vacation - We made it to Charlotte, NC on Wednesday afternoon to see Aunt Ali. James did very well on the 11 or so hour drive. We stopped in Hagerstown MD for a (very) quick overnight on Tuesday. James thought the hotel was great, tons of mirrors and long hallways to run down. Sorry to the other guests who may have been sleeping at 630am that morning...
What fun we are having here! On the first day, Aunt Ali took us shopping, out to lunch on the lake and then...the best part of all...to her pool! So far, we've been to the pool every day. Good thing we brought our wagon as James likes to travel in style. Aunt Ali's house is beautiful and there is so much to do here. Although James enjoys playing with his aunt's excercise ball the best. Of course, it's almost as big as he is so the spotter has quite a job making sure James doesn't loose his footing and take (another) header into a wall.
Today we took a trip site seeing around the city & did a little more shopping and wandering around. A great BBQ dinner rounded out the holiday. It's standard eary to bed for us, so no fireworks, only the ones we catch from the neighbors back yards as we sit on the patio relaxing.
Happy Fourth of July to everyone!
