My mom and I left Thursday evening for a trip to Oak Island, N.C. The trip down went well. We stopped at a Trader Joe's (my favorite grocery store) and had dinner at a K&W Cafeteria. We arrived around 10:30, got settled and went to bed.
The next morning I did not feel so hot. My back was aching and I felt sick to my stomach. I am not sure if it was something I ate or if I caught a stomach bug. I have been experiencing the back/tailbone pain for quite sometime if I sit for a long period. Since Friday was a rainy day anyways, it worked out that I was not feeling well. We went to Southport to do a little shopping and stopped at the natural foods store so I could pick up some ginger and Reed's ginger ale (this is the real stuff). Towards the end of the day I was beginning to feel better. I took a nap, we had dinner, and then I was in bed by 9:00.
Saturday was a whole new day! I woke up feeling 100% better. We headed to Southport for the Spring Festival. It was nice to get out and enjoy the weather. We returned to the house to go for a walk with of course a visit to the beach. Then dinner was at The Oak Island Restaurant. I was able to get grilled scallops and oysters, two of my favorite sea foods! Then mom and I rented a movie to watch for the night.
Sunday was the dreaded day because I knew we had to head back. It was also the nicest of the days that we had been there. We got up, took our walks and visit to the beach. Cleaned the house some. Had lunch and were on our way by 2:30.
I was sad to leave, but am happy about our return in less than two weeks with Mike's parents. I am so thankful to have a place to retreat to at the beach. I look forward to the many visits we will get to take when b.o.b. arrives. B.o.b. will most definitely be a "beach baby"!
Here are a few pics that I was able to take of the beach:
