Here's what I know now, that I didn't know before:
Teething is the root of all evil.  (Kiddo has tooth number 3, officially, as of today, and was fussy a good portion of the weekend.  His tongue also has weird spots, and his appetite today was very poor.  We temporarily lost the teething jell - but it showed up this morning as I was doing laundry.  Go figure.)
Another way to say "corn dog":  pig in a puppy.  (Courtesy of a street sign- I think it's akin to pigs in a blanket, but like a pig in a hush-puppy shortened, maybe?)
North Carolina is a bit "hick."  As heard over the radio at a fast food restaurant:  "Come guess the weight of the pig in the freezer!" (At a maytag sale)
The Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium is a step up from the first North Carolina Aquarium we visited - it even had an Octopus!
Ocean waves are scary.  Really scary.  (Kiddo didn't like the water - luckily, he eventually levelled out.  It only took a bucket of some salt water and a pacifier!)
Always keep the camera battery charged.  (Of course it would run out the one weekend we opted to go to the beach with Kiddo for the first time!  Luckily, I did capture a pic or two on the cell phone!)
Email reminders actually work!
Sunshine is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.  Vitamin D is good!
Lessons learned on "your" time are better than lessons learned on "company" time!
My memory has already begun to fade from the day - as I am sure there were many more lessons that I have already forgotten!
Love: A day with my boys in the sunshine.  I think it's a dose of heaven!
Hope: This week goes by quickly - but with a Sept 1 big deadline, I am sure it will!
Do: Enjoy the late days of summer (or is that lazy days?)..
