Pop Pop's 60th - 6.25.09

Pop Pop, Holly dog and Aunt Megan came to visit and to celebrate Pop's 60th Birthday with us. BB and Bab's helped us organize by renting a pontoon boat up at their club (Old North State) for the day and making us reservations at the club for dinner. Aunt Meg and I did the prep work for the festivities in the morning with the kids. We got "the 60th balloon" from party city, got a cake from Dean & Deluca and packed the cooler for the boat. Meanwhile Pop, Jeff, Babs, Wook and Jay played golf at the club and BB, Tai Gram and Tai Yeh made their way up to meet up with them. Meg and I drove up with the kids later...had to time it around nap.
