Aug 13
We have been wanting to do this since we got here! We didn’t notice it until it was too late our first year here summer of 2009. Last year we had conflicting things on that same date. This year we made sure our calander was open on August 13th! Vicki was quite bummed that we had decided to spend HER Birthday at Pirate Invasion, but I think she got over it by the end of the day! We had fun watching all the demos and sword fights and walking thru a mock pirate town. They do the re-enactment of Blackbeard in Beaufort every year and the people really get into it with their pirate dress and acting. We toured the old jail that is only open during this time of year and the kids got to touch and learn about Ferrets that were very common on pirate ships for good reason! We had fun taking pictures with various pirates and the boys loved holding the heavy swords! It was a VERY hot day, but a lot of fun. We ended the day by having dinner at Vicki’s choice, Red Robin. She had been wearing her birthday crown all day and so the waitress surprised her and brought out a hot fudge sundae and all the other servers came over and sang Happy Birthday to her! It was another one of those fun, perfect days as a family!
