Part 7: The Finale

As you may imagine, there is a ton of wind atop the dunes (especially being along the water), so it was a fantastic place to fly kites...and you remember from a previous post how we flew kites a the beach, so of course we brought our kites to the dunes...er...wait...shoot! Fortunately, people are nice and overheard a 2.5 year old incessantly asking to fly a kite and obliged him to bail us out. You cannot tell from this shot, but Morgan is holding the reel and is flying the kite on the left.

Obviously one of us took this, I'm just kidding, it was a really friendly passerby.

Dune snuggling

Dodging a dune snuggle with Mom leads to dune capture!

...and the eventual submission to a dune snuggle :)

The aforementioned dune sunset!

Oh, and I finished that puzzle in 2 days - a nice panoramic view of our nation's capitol.




Well, that's it! A 7 day trip turned into a 7 part post. Thanks for sticking it out. I know what you're really thinking though...these 7 days happened in July, it's the end of November...get with the times!! Relax, to tell you the truth, we haven't synced our camera since uploading these pictures, so I'll do that tomorrow and we'll see what happened in August :)

Part 6: Off to the Dunes

As you might recall from a previous post, my back got sunburned on day 4 of 7...so I didn't want to wear a shirt, nor did I want to go outside much during peak sun hours, though I did find something to do indoors. Morgan enjoyed working on the puzzle with me.

In the late afternoon we went to the dunes to see the sunset.

The shoes stayed in the car and we went on our way.

Grandma, Grandpa and Morgan started up path, while Missy and I gathered this view from the bottom...stay tuned.

Grandma and Grandpa stalled out on the way up, giving Miss and I the opportunity to cruise past them and acheive this view from the top. Morgan had to drag them up to the top, but that was only the beginning...

Once at the top, an endless expansion of dunes lay in front of us and Morgan was off to conquer it all!

Seriously...all of it.
