The thing with our vacations...we're not really having relaxed, calm vacations (unless we're with our families). We're trying to cram everything that we want to see into a very short time frame! Saturday morning we headed to Wrightsville Beach. After a drive around town to look at the beautiful houses on the coast, we were able to find a parking spot and get out on the beach. Weather was beautiful, ocean was ROUGH! We got beat up in the waves for a little while, then got a little sun. Before heading back to the hotel we went to Trolley Stop Cafe' for hotdogs. YUMMY!
Next stop (after showers and changing clothes) was the Waterfront. Walked through some of the shops, had dinner at Pilot House (which was not that impressive) and ice cream from Kilwin's! We capped off the evening with a horse-drawn carriage tour - there were about 20 people on our tour and I managed to end up next to the 3 children around 4 y.o. who were eating ice cream and getting it all over themselves! They were almost as entertaining as the tour itself, so I didn't mind!

Sunday was hot and HUMID! After visiting the NC Aquarium in Fort Fisher, NC, we took the ferry over to Southport, NC. Lunch was at this little waterfront restaurant called "Fishy Fishy Cafe" and was great...I had a Shrimp BLT wrap and Thomas had a Fish Sandwich. All the seafood was fresh, and the food was just great. We drove out to the Oak Island Lighthouse, then around town a little before heading back to Huntersville. Hopefully sometime we'll make it back to Southport so we can walk around and do some shopping. The places looked really cute - but with a heat index of 99 degrees, I wasn't getting out of the air conditioning any time soon!
