So I guess I have been home for about two weeks now...wow, so hard to believe! It has been great so far. My favorite things so far have been celebrating Papa's birthday and Mother's Day with my family, babysitting some great kids, going to the beach with my two best friends, shopping with mama, spending a day at the General Assembly with Daddy, going to the gym with my sister, taking my little cousin Carson on a date, and cleaning out my closet!
Since the beach is freshest on my mind, I want to tell you about my wonderful weekend!
I had such a great time at the beach this weekend with Jocelyn and Olivia. The trip worked out perfectly because Olivia was already at Emerald Isle so she just met up with us! After making a quick run to the grocery store for some beach certified junk food (for ei: iced animal crackers, goldfish, and chocolate chip cookies) on Saturday morning we fixed our little SAND-wiches and made our way over to the beach where we just caught up and relaxed for the afternoon. After deciding we would head over to Beaufort for dinner, we got in my Daddy's truck (him and Joc's dad had come down there to go fishing so trucks were our only vehicle options) and started backing down the Naylor's steep steep drive way that I may have had a hard time backing down...just maybe. I'll let you decide.
That parallel parking was so worth it because I had one of the best dinners I have ever had with the best company! Olivia, Joc and I ate right on the water at the Spouter Inn! This was the second time I had been there and I do believe everything on their menu is delicious! Even though it was a little windy, it was so much fun to get to share a great meal with two of the most beautiful girls in the world. (inside and out!) Even though we all went to separate colleges, I sat there thinking how thankful and blessed I was that we have stayed so close and that it seems as if we were never apart! If anything, I believe being apart has made us closer and I am just so thankful for that! But anyways, here we are the Spouter Inn. (If you are ever in Beaufort and have never been, you have got to go!)
After sleeping in a little on Sunday, we headed right back out on the beach! The sun was shining even brighter than it had the day before and we once again spent the afternoon catching up, laughing, and of course eating goldfish. :) Our Dad's had gone back home that afternoon so we had another truck to drive that night! This time it was even better because Mr. Jeffrey's truck has camo seats. :) We decided to head over to Morehead that night and ate at the Rudy Duck! This is a.k.a. the Routy Spouty because we kept getting the name confused with where we had ate the night before (The Spouter Inn) After dinner we came back to the beach house and made some cheesecake brownies! Goodness gracious, these things were so good! So good that they made me sleepy and I fell right asleep as we were watching "Extreme Cuponing." I was very bummed about this because it was my first time watching and I was amazed that someone could end up paying $40 for a $1200 grocery bill!
Monday was a very very sad day because we had to come home! As much as we didn't want to leave, the car ride (or should I say truck ride) home was the perfect ending to a wonderful weekend and perfect beginning to a summer just as wonderful! I am so thankful for two best friends who I am so blessed to have such great times with! On our next trip we will be going to a strawberry patch so I will let you know how that goes. :)
Shout out to our camouflage seat covers and the duck we found with our luggage!
