We are home from our vacation and are so sad to be back to reality. We were just in heaven the whole time we were away. It was so nice to be somewhere, just the three of us, with nothing in particular to do. We stayed in Oak Island, NC, spent most of our time in Southport (that is where most of Dawson's Creek was filmed, so you have an idea of the atmosphere there), and took some small trips to Wilmington, Fort Fisher, and Kure Beach. We spent our days hanging out in local shops, eating at great local places, napping, lounging, and just enjoying being together. We would literally sit on the couch each night, look at each other and say, "So what would be fun to do tomorrow?" It was so nice not to have an agenda. Here are a few pictures from our week. I doubt I'll get them all on here today since there are so many I want to share!
Sunday:
- Drove 6 1/2 hours ... we were all crazy by the time we got there.
- Surprise! An awesome basket of goodies from the sweet lady who owns the condo where we stayed.
- Relaxed and hung out on the balcony overlooking the Intracostal Waterway.
Monday:

The purple frog Camryn HAD to have from the gift shop. Not a cuddly seahorse, not a cute penguin but the purple frog.

Okay first of all we are so happy that you had a GREAT time! WE prayed for your trips in the car both ways...glad you survived! YEAH for Debbie and the HUGE basket--
MOST importantly as we sit here I just turned to Jordan and said " Don't I have the SAME picture of Burley doing the head in the "animal" in Chucktown? After we laughed he said " Burley likes to compare the size of his head to other mammals..etc" Then we laughed---HAHAHAHAHA
