Morning at the beach

Sunday morning we saw dolphins swimming in the ocean right outside our hotel room. It was a great start to the day. The weather held out too-- a huge storm had passed through early in the morning, leaving many streets flooded, but the sky was clear and bright when we got up.

We had our free hotel breakfast in this charming breakfast room with a great view of the parking lot. The kids were happy to choose a muffin, juice, and a boiled egg.


20 minutes later.... (they don't like yokes).


Then we headed out to the beach for a little walk.




Alice ended up befriending a little girl along the way and playing in the surf with her.


There was some resistance to my family beach selfie.


Turns out the little guy just needed about five more powdered donut holes.


After getting Alice cleaned up and in dry clothes, giving the kids a second breakfast, and packing up, we checked out right at the 11:00 cut-off and headed back to Manteo--this time for the airport!
