We’ve Found Summer (Again)
70 degrees. That was the temperature today on Cape Hatteras. And the wind died down to a nice, gentle breeze.

We had a great early dinner in Washington at a place called Down on Main Street. They have a “secret recipe” for their crab cakes (which were very good, by the way). Max was impressed when the waitress told us that. Of course, he was even more impressed when we told him what “secret recipe” means.
After dinner, we gave our required tithing to the god of discount merchandise – Walmart ( though it felt like a lot more than 10%). One of the things we bought, though, was a fishing pole for Max.

Max caught three fish. Here is the first one he caught:
Tomorrow we’re off to Raleigh – where we will pick up Frank on Sunday. He is flying in to spend spring break with us at an emerald mine. Geology is a hobby of Frank’s and we thought it would be fun for him to spend his vacation prospecting.
Funny coincidence – Frank found out today that his science teacher has been to this exact same mine. Frank even saw some of the emeralds the teacher found while there.
