Tim and I had a wonderful trip down to North Carolina, primarily to visit family. We had a lovely time with Tim's and my family, meeting some of our youngest family members for the first time.
In our free time, we went for a walk, napped, and went for more walks. I also got an amazing pedicure with my mother and sister-in-law-- I am a sucker for a leg and foot massage, so I'll admit-- it was really awesome.
Anyway- on the wildlife front, not too many new birds for the year list, but a nice one was an Eastern Bluebird. But I also got to see some other wildlife, which was a nice treat and one of the best critters was right in my mother-in-law's yard!
