North Carolina trip continued ...

Dinky loved having lunch with my mom's colleagues who have been so supportive of her, and us, during this whole journey.

We had a wonderful visit with our friends Susan and Tach and their absolutely adorable daughter, Isabel, who Dinky had a blast playing with.

Riding the carousel at Pullen Park with cousin Missy riding behind us.

Opa enjoyed riding, too.

Dinky practiced his walking with anyone who would give him a "hand" including Martin...

...Pa

...my friend from high school, Melanie and her cutie Austin

...and Ma

All of this socializing and activity was enough to wear a young man out! However, we still had one more very important visit.

Dinky is old enough now that I have to start showing him the finer things that NC has to offer. And this included breakfast with Aunt Dobie at one of my favorite spots. It was as delicious as I remembered.
