The boys called awhile ago to tell me they arrived safely in North Carolina. Both are thrilled to be on vacation. Charles says he wants to move to the beach. At least Mississippi is not completely landlocked I guess. John Wells thinks he is in the desert. Really made me realize how eroded the beaches have become in the Gulf and even in Destin. The expansive dunes confused John Wells. I said, "I think you're at the beach, honey." He said, "NOOOOOOOO, mommy, I'm in the deeeeeeesert!"
