Summer Vacation in North Carolina

On the USS North Carolina Battleship, Wilmington















Our comfortable bed in the Captain's Quarter



六月北卡之旅


大家好! 我們一家上週六從北卡返回愛城. 一路開車都算順利(單程共需十六小時, 琳琳表現不錯, 小麗也有進步). 先在洛麗市與老朋友及老師相見甚歡, 隨後花兩天時間帶孩子去東岸海灘玩沙嬉水, 可惜天陰有雨, 沒有久留, 連去到城中心河濱公園也一路被風追著跑. 沙灘之行後再返回洛麗市, 並住進一間家庭式飯店. 這棟大房子就坐落在士賢十多年前舊居旁邊, 隔街相望, 不由增添一絲歸屬感. 如預料一般, 這間Cameron Park Bed & Breakfast Inn 與一般飯店相比別有特色. 裝潢美觀雅緻, 格局寬敞舒適,每個廳堂角落當然就進入士賢相機鏡頭裡及供我們母女三人在此擺首弄姿留影紀念. 旅途中拍下百張照片, 從中選出一些與家人朋友分享,希望大家喜歡！
