The Southern Way Of Life

What a great way to start a vacation. I took the red eye out on Tuesday night to Georgia. After a prolonged flight I touched down in Atlanta. I was picked up by Amber's dad and younger brother and we headed out to the North Carolina beach. Of course we didn't get far before I got my first taste of southern food at one of the many Waffle Houses that dot this area like bugs on your windshield. It took about 8 hours to get to the beach house on Emerald Isle, where Amber's family congregate every year.


In all there were about 5 families staying at beach. We had a great time! We played in the waves, body surfed, went skim boarding, played Frisbee, went for walks, looked for shells, played mini golf, and visited the third oldest town in North Carolina--Beaufort. We capped the beach trip off with parasailing!! It was a blast!

Welcome to Beaufort.



We found a lot of great hats on a window shopping adventure.

Up...up....and away!
