The Aquarium, Pizza, & Porter

Today we took Jude to the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.  Jude was still a little too young to really interact much, but I think he really did enjoy all of the people and the whole experience of it all.  We got a few cute pictures of him at the aquarium:

After the aquarium, we had lunch at my favorite little pizza place down here, Michaelangelo's Pizza.  It seems like we're always getting Jude to try new things, which I love, but pizza is something Jude hadn't tried yet... until today!  Jude's first slice of pizza had cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms on it and he seemed to think it was an alright meal choice.  Here's a picture of Jude and his first slice of pizza:

In the evenings, we like to go for walks as a family along with our weimaraner, Porter.  Porter has been in heaven here at the beach this past week.  I decided to bring the camera along on our walk tonight to capture the relationship that Porter and Jude have.  Porter is very protective and gentle with Jude, however, we are very aware of their interactions.  Here are a few shots of us on our walk tonight:

Tomorrow we'll be heading back to Raleigh for a few days and then back here to the beach with some friends for round 2 of beach fun!  This has been an excellent family vacation and I look forward to next summer when we're down here with another Walker in tow!
