North Carolina

Before departing on our grand adventure, our little family took a trip to Harker's Island, North Carolina to visit a much bigger portion of the Hancock family. We had a wonderful time introducing William to his extended family, and though I say it myself, I think he was a hit on the island. Here are some of the highlights of the trip:
William testing out a career option as a hermit crab.

William really loved watching the fish at the aquarium!

Nathaniel, William and Grandma Jacque.
Nathaniel has a lot of family history on Harker's Island. This sign is near where the old family stead used to be. We took a ferry over to Cape Lookout to play in the waves and see the lighthouse! It was so much fun to be in a warm ocean! William was the only one who made it through the day without a sunburn.
Apparently he can't decide how he feels about his first boat ride.
