River View

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in Wilmington, walking around by the river. As usual, the boys have been great travelers (except, also as usual, Matthew threw up mid-trip -- I suspect just due to drinking tons of milk and not eating much).

The boys are delighted with our hotel room, simply because it has a long hallway to run down and walls to race to. Ah, the joys of youth! Unfortunately, they are also delighted because they can open all the doors, including the front door, since they have pull-down handles instead of knobs. (Curse you, universal design!) So, we have to keep the chain lock on the front door to make sure our little explorers don't set off on their own. (James made a break for it at the McDonald's playland this afternoon, but we caught him.)

The railings on the river walk are also a great temptation to our little climbers, but fortunately we have enough adults to double-team them. :) Matthew really wanted to "touch the water", but I told him he had to wait until tomorrow at the beach.

We had a delicious waterfront dinner at The George. Mike had been looking forward to coming back there for two years, because last time we were here they had an amazing she-crab soup that he loved. We were here for two days and ate there three times, just for the soup. I'm not kidding. And wouldn't you know it, the soup is no longer on the menu. Despite that crushing blow, it was a yummy meal, and the little guys were even well-behaved enough for us to enjoy it. James liked the crab dip, and Matthew liked the fish (although of course their "main course" was grilled cheese).
