Summer Vacation 2011, Phase I - NC/OBX.

Fine southern dining, heading home from the airport, after a 12 hour flight. My wife, she has the priorities, clearly. Four of the five southern food groups are present - meat, cheese, fried and gravy. Rest assured, the fifth food group, sugar, was covered by sweet tea [not pictured.] Type II Diabetes? What's that?

OBX road trippin'.

Bed and Breakfast'ing. That's right. We're fancy.

You know, we can blame the Adachi-gene on Sandy's side for her affinity for dress up. There's really no excuse for me.

We are... what's the word? Oh, yes. Ridiculous. [At the Wright Brothers' first flight monument...]

The relaxation. I has it.

Chocolate. Beer. That is all.

I love the beach. Could float, swim, bake and read for damn near forever without getting tired of it.
