Spring break at Myrtle...
...or a few miles north at Sunset, where the family crowd hangs out.
Grandpa and Edith survey the scene on the first morning
A closer look
On the pier
The main purpose of the trip was to spend time with Cousin Kelsey, on her first trip to North Carolina. She and Edith met for the first time.
It's Cinderella in more comfortable slippers...it's a giant mutant duck...it's Edith wearing animal-track-making flip flops from Kelsey. She loved 'em.
A still unspoiled beach front? Edith saw that there was serious development work to be done.
Fearing environmental protestors, she brought her bodyguards to ensure that work continued smoothly
Back in Chapel Hill we finally sampled the local LocoPops about which we've been hearing raves from friends, a new area offering courtesy of Latino immigrants fond of paletas (de agua o de crema) after dinner. Edith's flavor: chocolate brownie. Ah, how to choose between all the flavors, whose names brought me back to days in the Dominican Republic? Tamarind pear, mojito, chocolate pineapple, basil grapefruit...
In the spirit of vacation, Kelsey and Edith then went on to make sugar cookies, with a decorating kit Kelsey had brought. (She sure inherited her mother's instincts for how to spoil little nieces/cousins!)

what a wonderful trip! I'm so jealous of the beach photos - looks like a great spot. Edith is looking so grown-up: and more like her mama these days, I think!

nice pictures! She does look especially grown up - in the first one, and in the closer up shot of her playing in the sand. I don't know what it is, but there are some shots where she looks strikingly older. Maybe shadows make her face look more angular or something.
And it's funny that the above poster said she's looking more like mama - I look at the first picture of her and see Tom exactly.
