Savvy and I took a 2 week road trip down to North Carolina in November. The above picture is from Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on the NC Outer Banks, where Savage first saw the Atlantic Ocean. He was less than impressed, and mildly spooked by the crashing surf.
During most of our trip the weather was unseasonably cool, which is preferable for Sav and me (especially since my car doesn't have operational air conditioning!). However, there were a couple days that were a little too warm for comfort, and we spent those days relaxing at our campsite or taking short walks on the beaches.
My beautiful boy turned 8 years old on the beach at Cape Hatteras. His recovery from the car accident that threatened his life in June is pretty well complete. (I may post more about that incident in the future). He was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy in June, as well, and is on daily medications in an attempt to delay heart failure. Luckily, he has been responding well to the meds and the only effect that DCM seems to have on his lifestyle is that I limit strenuous exercise, and that's not something he really misses these days.
Back in Minnesota now; 2013 has brought a lot of changes into our lives. I'm hoping the new year will be a good one for both of us, and all of you! Cheers!
