New Bern Trip

Thanks to Grandma, the kids made their first big trip to stay in a hotel!  We visited New Bern, one of the oldest cities in NC to aid Grandma in the NC Heritage Convention.  She worked 'it' and smiled to the participants while we toured the area and had lots of fun.
 Tour and fossil digging at awesome museum in Aurora, NC.  Our biggest finds: petrified crab house, large snaggletooth shark and mako shark teeth and a piece from a tooth of a megladon!
 Caught the ferry across the Neuse River.
 Cuties at the Firemen's Museum in New Bern.  Standing on the first mechanical firetruck from this old township.
 Lots of pool time for the kids.  Demetrius show us that he can swim!
 Awaiting  wonderful concert from the NC Symphony at Tryon Palace. The county is celebrating its 300th birthday and the Symphony celebrating its 80th birthday.  I love that D brought her book to pass the time!
Finishing up our stay with a daytrip to the coast; always awesome to see the sea.
