Our 2012 Summer Family Vacation took us to New Bern, North Carolina.  Actually, the destination was chosen due its proximity to Raleigh where Adam and Adrienne will be married.  We are spending the week here before the wedding next weekend.

We are staying at the Fairfield Harbor Resort.  It is a resort community, but there are also many private units, much like Crystal Mountain in Michigan.  Our unit is large, but it is dated.  When we checked in, they said this was an old unit, but they are working to upgrade all of the units.  Our unit has a balcony that overlooks the marina.  There are a lot of sail boats.  Though I know we wouldn't want to haul the boat down here, it would have been a great place to have it!

We all slept in this morning and went to Walmart for groceries after we all got ready.  We didn't have any plans for today other than getting organized and relaxing.  They have a nice pool area that includes an indoor and outdoor pool and a hot tub.  We did some swimming today and took some time for the whirlpool and the sauna.  We went back to the unit for dinner and then Adri and I went out to play tennis while Alex took a few pictures.

The weather has been rough down here.  There was evidence of storms yesterday and today we were under severe thunderstorm warnings.  We seemed to dodge the brunt of it here at our resort, but we spent the afternoon hanging around the condo and watching the dark clouds, rain, lighting and thunder go by.
