Monday at Nags Head

This house is incredible! It is an older, single story, 4-bedroom beach-front house, connected to a larger, three-story 9-bedroom house. It even has an elevator! There is an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, and a hot-tub (although this does not seem to be working).

We are here with:
Pam and Mike Campa (Pam is the who organized this shindig)
Marina Campa (16 yrs.)
Amber and Jeff Craig, and Trevin (age 10), Corbin (age 6), and Alexa (age 14 mo.)
Deanna Overmann, and Paulie (age 9)
Rachel and Steve Mehalek, and Chelsea (age 16), Steven James (age 17), and Jay (age 9)
Jim and Cathy Chickos, with TJ, Gideon, and Connor
Libby Searles, with Halle (age 13) and Liam (age 10)
Peter Barcus, with Halle (age 6), Salem (8), Sawyer (10), Logan (12) and Tanner (14)
and a couple other "old time" THEA people that I don't know.

Nags Head

Today we are heading to Nags Head on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We will be staying in a house with a number of other THEA families. THEA (which stands, I think, for The Home Educators Association, or something like that...) is a homeschool group with weekly Thursday park days, plus a Yahoo group for communicating with each other.

I am very pleasantly suprised to find that the drive to Nags Head is only 3 1/2 hours. In past we've headed to Corolla, NC, also on the Outer Banks, but as far north on the Outer Banks as you can go without entering Virginia. It has taken us 5 hrs. to get to Corolla. The logic in going to Corollas was that the house, owned by Brian's "boss" Steve Blough, was free!

Last week Dallas, Emma and I visited Bennett Place with a group from Chapel Hill Homeschoolers. Dallas is wearing a black t-shirt with a skull.

My very, very first blog...

Ok. This is a test. I've never blogged before. Trying to figure this out. Most interested in adding photos from flickr....
