This past weekend Gary took us all to the quaint coastal town of Oriental. The sailing capital of North Carolina. It was picture perfect! He took us out on his boat where we sailed the Neuse River, it was my first time sailing and wow; all I could think was that it was better than a roller coaster! Nicolas thought I was going to capsize us, you can see the fear on his face. And yet, we lived to tell the tale.
