Babushka Comes To Visit North Carolina

It was wonderful to have my mom come visit! She had a fabulous time visiting North Carolina for the first time. It wasn't a sightseeing type of trip but a very relaxing one. She came in April, right in time for Easter, then spent a week with us and left for a week to go on a cruise with her good friend from Ukraine. Then she came back and spent a month with us. And who wouldn't have a wonderful time here?:) It's nice, warm (hot), quiet and beautiful.

The pool opened just in time for her to enjoy it a few times.

We went to the beach at Topsail and loved it!

And people could see us from miles away because of my mom's fancy hat:)

She played with the kids outside and took her daily walks around the neighborhood. 

She walked several times to the strawberry farm next door and gathered yummy berries for us to enjoy. 

She and I went to Hillsborough to see a little bit of history. 

And she got to see Katya perform in her musical "Beauty and the Beast" twice. 

We weren't very sad to see her go though because we know she is coming back very-very soon and will stay here forever:)

Katya, Alex, Babushka, Mark and I.
