Tim shares his birthday week with the Coast Guard. This year the Coast Guard day festivities fell on his birthday so we (by Tim's choice) started the day off with his birthday cake for breakfast! Yes you know your gonna have a good day if it starts with cake! :)
Happy 225th birthday U.S. Coast Guard
Since we just couldn't swing a vacation to anywhere this summer we decided to take Tim camping at New Bern KOA about 45 mins from our house for his birthday. We had hoped to camp more this summer but our tent's main weight bearing pole broke. Luckily this KOA had a variety of cabins to rent.
It was the perfect spot! We had a catch and release pond right out our door. And over the bridge was the pool. Boys getting the bait ready
It was so relaxing to just sit there on and off all day and toss the line in. We used a bamboo pole for it. Funny note Paige, caught the biggest two by using left over potatoes from dinner as bait LOL!!!
At night it was such a great view they had solar lights along the water and rope lights across the bridge. We had our fire going for smores. This was the view from across the pond of our cabin.
The kids really enjoyed the giant checkers and chess board.
They had kayaks and paddles boats so we did the kayaks.
Man we could sit there all day!
They had a big jump pad too!
On the way home we stopped at the birthplace of Pepsi. Great little historical place.
Good old fashioned soda fountain.
Had to have a Pepsi for Grandpa. Simon even got a Pepsi float which Grandpa always makes.
