My week vacation (Sunday)

We went to church in Morehead City, then headed home. We took a circuitous route heading over to Harker's Island near Cape Lookout, where they have a museum about the sound and the lighthouse. We had lunch there and found some seagulls that were very interested in our bread.

We then headed back through New Bern, a city at the end of a large inlet that was the colonial capital of North Carolina and also the home of Pepsi-Cola. It was invented in a downtown pharmacy, which is now a soda fountain/museum.

To finish it all up, the kids got to do there business in an empty downtown lot because there weren't any open restrooms on Sunday. The trip back was very rainy but uneventful and we were grateful to have had such a nice safe trip.

What a fun week. NC is my favorite place. We are coming out to visit June 18-21. I want to get together with you if you haven't moved yet. What are your plans?
