Yer Looken Mighty Pretty in them Jeans there Jimbo !!

sooooo-weeeeeeeh!

Heehee ... love the siamese alligator!

Fantastic Jim and Jinxer!! I have decided to live vicariously through you guys, on your vacations, but mostly in Mexico! :)

Jim...so uh...What's up with the beard? What's next? Chess tournaments? :)

next is I get down to 250 before I shave it off.

beards are not for rednecks anymore

wasn't it all the rage a while back

You are in good company with the jet set lol

pathetic display of appeasement I know

Wonderful, just wonderful. The "family time" & special memories you two are creating for your kids just overwhelms me with wonderment. (did I really type wonderment?)
I think you guys are awesome. . . and you have great kids too.

I've always thought so too classic. My respect for their example is a kind of that way too. Head and shoulders above the rest sort of.

oh please.....we're just as dysfunctional as everyone else. we only share the good stuff though. we're just not all that into airing dirty laundry, s'all.

You have very cool vacations, though. It's all documented here.

I know there is "shit" Jim, thats normal in everyone's lives. You guys do some things, and perhaps you don't realize it, but they far exceed the norm and you both should be commended for it.

Don't like it?
Then EAD ya furry faced fook.

Good, otherwise we might think you guys are crazy....:D lol! I'm jealous, I won't see a beach until Christmas...I'm really jealous of the camera the most however.....Even if I do go I won't be able to capture it like that. waaa.

Ok move along...

Seconded.
Whatever shit you go through, you're still together, still bringing up your children and still finding enough time to post here.

Personally, not too sure on the face fungus, LJ. For some reason it put me in mind of Spencer Platt (if you're lucky enough that he is outside your consciousness, he's a complete tool from a reailty show called The Hills)

But I'm coming round to the idea Jinx has decided to keep you, so I guess it's not my choice to make.

FTR Bruce - I'm not anti-beards, just not on some men.

And in all seriousness - wow. What a lovely break.
I holidayed with the 'rents until I was 15, then I discovered festivals and never went back. Mum promises when Aunty Alice's money comes through we're all having a family holiday - us, my sis et al and my bro and wife. In Benidorm. Nothing like OBX. Trashy, touristy, downmarket, Brit-centric. We'll love it.

Don't tell you're kids they'll look back on this as the best days of their lives. But you know they will.

The cellar is fantastic for documenting stuff, and sharing it as well. :)

We went for bbq at High Cotton last night (omg its soo good) and got the scoop on the Manteo waterfront / Festival Park so we went back to Roanoke Island today to check it out. Lots of fancy shops, lots of fancy boats, as well as a replica of the boat that brought the lost colonists over, and a replica encampment of the expedition that came before them. Actors in period costume throughout, although there were no natives like we had been told. There was a cool little museum there too.
Then we headed back 'home', stopping in at the Wright Bros memorial about 2 miles south of us in Kill Devil Hill.
