Once completely satisfied that his dad had seen everything that he needed to see in Georgia (trains trucks, and treasure), Tiago and the group took a road-trip to the Outerbanks--North Carolina!
After a quick pit-stop at a South Carolina Cracker-Barrel (and an even quicker pit-stop at the kitschy South Carolina "South of the Border" truck stop)...
...We finally arrived at the Topsail beach house. But, wait! We didn't pack any extra shoes for Tiago. "Don't worry," said Tiago. He quickly remembered a character from Abuelita's book, who wears plastic bags over his shoes in the snow. Problem solved!
(Actually, Tiago ended up with a new pair of shoes out of the trip. (!Gracias abuelitos!)
We didn't find any pirate's booty on the beach, but there were many beautiful seashells. Tiago and Korah enjoyed drawing in the pristine sand (no footprints on these foggy beaches).
And abuelito brought a very cool pirate-ship-kite!
Tiago even made it fly by himself.
Tiago, an expert on all things pirates, knows that the skull & cross-bones is not the actual symbol for pirate Black Beard, who was killed on the North Carolina coast. But, who doesn't love a Jolly Roger?
Happy Christmas Eve's-Eve!
