Topsail Island

A weekend ago we headed out to Topsail Island for a mini getaway. It was just a quick stay for me, one night, but the weather was lovely and we did get to romp on the beach. My in-law's rental house was beach front so waking up to the sound of waves was quite a treat for these landlocked folks! Now that the mercury has hit 103 here in central NC, I'm going to dream of the beach this weekend while we hunker down in the A/C.

Puerto Rico

 

We went on a quick Memorial day getaway to the island of Puerto Rico! It was lovely (and hot) and we made the best of it despite losing a day to some terrible weather.  RDU delayed and cancelled flights due to some terrible thunderstorms.  We would have missed our connection in the ATL so we had to come back the next day for another flight (boo).  

Once we arrived, all was well and we explored the old area of San Juan on foot for a day.  The colors are so very pretty. In fact, the whole island is more colorful that you'd expect. A big old box of crayons in some places, really.  

 

We were able to balance a little sightseeing with some Caribbean sea-soaking too. 

Quick Beach Getaway

We had a great (and hot) getaway to Topsail Beach over the weekend. It was a delight to introduce Burt to the Atlantic Ocean. He had fun, though wasn't quite sure what to make of this jellyfish. At least he knew to keep his distance!

Beach Update

We hit up Ocean Isle Beach, NC for a long weekend. Ben posed, mamaw soaked up the sun, I fried and tried to fly a kite and we all ate seafood boil. Well, Jake ate mac and cheese.

Next year, it's gotta be a full week.
