My 1st trip to the Ocean!

I spent a week with my parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins in Nags Head, NC. We had a house rental on the beach which was amazing! I loved every minute of the vacation. I had a great time playing with my cousins, Josh and Maddie, and I loved playing on the beach and in

the ocean. We picked and ocean vacation because the salt water air is good for CF lungs. One of my medications is 4% solution of Hypertonic Saline. It is a sterile saltwater solution that I inhale twice daily via nebulizer.

Our Beach House...20 feet from the ocean!

I visited Kitty Hawk and saw the place where the Wright Brothers first started there attempts and flying. I got to fly a kite and it was a beautiful, windy day to do so. I was kind of crabby at that visit. I had to excuse myself from the history portion of the tour.

I ate some great fresh local seafood. I love a variety of foods just like Mom and Dad. This is me enjoying some delicious fried Mahi Mahi with a spicy aioli sauce. I really liked. Don't forget the hand cut fries on my plate as well. I am supposed to get 1,900 calories in a day hence the fried options and dips.

I slept on a blow up mattress in my parents room and I loved that bed. i jumped from my parents bed onto the blow up mattress constantly. The last day when Mom and Dad packed up my bed I went into the room and threw up my hands and said, "Oh no my bed"! LOL I did not want to go home. I also said, "No home" the day we were packing up. I wanted to stay at the beach house and live.

This has been the best summer thus far! I was so busy and had so much fun! Cheers to summer 2010!

Sunny Skies,

Ben
