Sorry for the journal-ish entry today, but I thought y'all would enjoy some proof that I do actually go outdoors every once and a while.
Day 1 of Spring Break '09 consisted of a day trip with Keren down do Nag's Head. We wanted to give a try-out to her tiger kite that has been sitting in her closet for a really long time. So, we drove down to the Outer Banks this morning after a hearty eggs and bacon breakfast, stopping at the dunes of Jockey's Ridge State Park in North Carolina to taker her out. After a short hike to the top of a dune, we took the kite out.
Then, after about a half hour of untangling, we got it into a state we though would be air-worthy. To make a long story short, we messed it up. After a bit of frustration, we realized we had set it up incorrectly, and remedied the problem. We got it flying for a bit, but then pooped out and headed back to the car for a picnic lunch.
Next, we hit out the outlet mall in Nag's Head for a bit of shopping. Both of us got some pants.
During the car ride there and back, we listened to C.S. Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader on my iPod. We grabbed a Starbucks on the way home, and now I'm probably gonna spend some time with Ginny while the women in my parents house watch Dancing with the Stars.
Days like this are great; I am going to miss spring break after the college years are over, a time which is approaching quickly. Here are some pictures of the day.

That place gets into your soul. If you stay away too long you start to miss it. Looks like an awesome trip with awesome weather.
voyage of the dawn treader is my fav of the narnia series. sounds and looks like you had a lot of fun. and starbucks on top. yum!
I love the college schedule. I wish the rest of the world worked on that schedule. Stay in school as long as you can!
Even though the kite was a bit of a disaster, it was still quite fun. And Starbucks is always a good end to the day!
