April 13-14th

Monday we all got ready and got in the car to drive and see some light houses. We drove to Cape Hatteras first which was the farthest one (about an hour). The light house was not open to climb and we learned later that week that it opened on Friday, April 17th but we weren't driving back up that way. Ella did really well in the car again and at the lighthouse until she decided hey I need my lunch people. Mommy came prepared with lunch in the car though and thank you to junior lunchables. On the way back we went to Bodie Lighthouse. This was a quick trip because it was starting to get really windy outside.

We had our Easter dinner tonight - cabbage rolls and they were super yummy and Ella had one also. She is a little gassy but she is also a Miller-Grivna.

Today (April 14th) is a little rainy and over cast so we are all just bumming around being lazy which is good for vacation. We went looking around the shops at the end of the street and the guy in the fudge shop sang to Ella. She was very interested in watching him stir the fudge on the marble slab. Afterwards we took Ella through the toystore that was located right next door. She saw lots of babies and balls. She didn't get anything new because she got all kinds of new toys at the house for Easter from everyone (how are we getting it all home?). Tonight is my turn to make dinner so I need to go and get our mexican dinner started and Mark is making the trip into town for margaritas!!
