Now, what better greeting to the beach can you get than this? My mother-in-law drew it on an old chalkboard she keeps hung in her dining room....just a way to brighten the space...and our day!
After a large lunch, homemade by Greg's parents, we headed out for the day. When I am on vacation, I lounge around, sleep in...no rush :)
On the road between destinations, we love to find unique and/or pretty things. Just crossing over the
Emerald Isle bridge, we found a few....
This gorgeous field of sunflowers begins at the light in Cedar Point and goes almost fully to the bridge. Want to come back and get some photos here when we time. How about these islands in the middle of the sound? Just so gorgeous!!
There is a huge (and I mean HUGE) Pier in Emerald Isle. Bogue Inlet Pier did not disappoint! It is probably the longest pier we have ever been on. Isn't it just amazing?!! Not very often that we end up on this side of the ocean.
With the area being right next to
Swansboro, there are a lot of local fishermen there to grab their catches of the day that they will sell to the locals. I am a big fan of those fishermen. Last visit, we had fresh caught shrimp, grilled, for lunch. Yum!! So, being pregnant, that long walk seemed to take forever and a day. It was so windy too! My daughter took on a new hairstyle pretty quickly!
Matlyn just doesn't seem to be tall enough when she needs to be...
No problem....it allows for some time with Daddy and a great photo while we are at it! We stayed for awhile and then once I had enough wind in me, made it back down the pier.
Had to get a pretty shot of my 6 year old first...
After making a quick stop for sunglasses (and a hairbrush after that pier,) we headed to the beach for the evening. It was like a bathtub....water felt great!
My 2 oldest boys always hang together in the ocean. Yep, they're buds <3 p="">
Hmm....Matlyn is daring herself to get in. You'll be fine....go ahead :)
Don't forget the huge sandbox (as my 2 year old would say)
Yeah, she loves it. At this age, she really doesn't go into the water which is just fine with me. I can relax and just enjoy :)
Until next time...
