Oh I was in Heaven last week! We went to Topsail Island, NC with Matt's family for a few days. The beach is my true home. Everything else in the world falls away when I am near the ocean. The incessant stream of thoughts of what I am going to do with my life stops, and I am able to just be there. This is why I love going to the beach so much, and why I want to travel to every beach in the world!
The house they rented was right on the beach. We had sliding glass doors in our room that opened up onto a deck overlooking the sand. At night, we kept the doors open and fell asleep to the most soothing sound in the world - the waves crashing on the shore.
The first day was so warm we were able to go into the ocean and boogie board!! Quite possibly my favorite thing to do in the entire world. The next few days were cooler, so we rode bikes to the fishing pier, the longest fishing pier on the east coast! They were catching skate like crazy. I asked if I could take a photo...
I am not sure if I can ever eat skate again. I heard that it was flat like a ray, but I didn't know it looked exactly like a stingray!! Yikes.
The last day was rainy, so we had a major crafternoon. Peggy and I made greeting cards with all kinds of craft supplies, and Matt and Myron put together a 1000 piece puzzle in a matter of hours. Good clean fun.
