After San Francisco, we return to Philadelphia.

We worked and tended to our cats and dogs.



Genell scored tickets to a couple baseball games. This is from the Phillies vs. Pirates game on July 10th 2009. We sat in Section 118, row 20.



On August 8th we flew in to North Carolina for another much needed vacation away from work. We went with our friends Matt and Lauren. We flew in to Raleigh and before heading out to Kill Devil Hills, we stopped n one of the parks. We posed in front of a fireman memorial and ate hot dogs and this famous 'restaurant'.

After exploring Raliegh, we got into our rental car and drove to the Outer Banks. The ride was long but we entertained ourselves.

When we finally got to
our rental house, we headed straight to the beach for some sun which we thought we would be spoiled with. Little did we know that this would be our only sunny day of the trip.
Mid-week, Gerald and Nicole, two of our friends from Philly drove down to hang out with us. We made huge dinners at night and went sightseeing during the day.


We visited the
Wright Brothers national memorial. Here's Genell doing a cartwheel in front of the hill they took off from. And Genell again, on the right, giving Wilbur Wright a smooch.


We drove down to the sand dunes and played like little kids in the sand....

...we had jumping contests to see who could jump the farthest down the hills and took tons of pictures in the marbled sand.
