4th of July

It was nice to be back in the USA for the 4th of July. It was our first time to celebrate in 3 years on the home land. One of the best parts was that our friends, the Buhlers, traveled down from DC to celebrate with us. We were so excited to see them again and had fun doing some sightseeing, relaxing and playing cards.

Saturday we visited Boone Hall Plantation which is just down the street from our house. The plantation was very pretty—especially the entrance of oak trees.

That afternoon we hit the beach. The beach here is awesome—great sand, shallow and gentle waves for the kids.

On the 4th, we enjoyed church and then walked around downtown before enjoying the fireworks in front of the USS Yorktown. It was a great show that lasted 20 minutes. The kids were pretty excited.

We were sad to see the Buhlers go home and hopefully our paths will cross again soon!

Looks so fun! Wish we could've been there to play with our Taiwan friends. You know we'll have to have a big Taiwan playdate reunion some day :)
