I didn’t expect to be sitting on a sandy beach on Saturday! But, we drove to Wilmington to do two cake tastings, and one of the bakeries was a few blocks from the beach. Given that we had a lot of cake to eat, Matt and I picked up a salad for a last minute beach picnic. Of course, we forgot a blanket, and since it was overcast and a little rainy, we decided to have lunch up on the…

They are out! Addressing the save-the-dates has been hanging over me for a while. For one, it feels like the first big step in making the wedding official, so I was nervous to put them in the mail! And two, I really couldn’t send them out until my wedding website was all ready to go. I didn’t feel comfortable revealing a website that wasn’t complete because I anticipated that many guests would never go to the site again after the…
One more week of work!!!! So pumped to be on summer vacation so I can dream about wedding details! Did I mention we have a wedding date, because we have a date! June 1, 2013 – I will be a bride (knock on wood). That’s tomorrow! Matt’s browsing coral bow ties as we speak:) I’m thinking of trying on some dresses in a few weeks (just for fun). Next on my to-do list is picking out save-the-dates and making a…
Time sure does fly when you’re having fun. We lucked out with fabulous weather and got to spend some time on the beach. We took two long family beach walks and enjoyed a picnic lunch yesterday. We encountered lots of animals this weekend, including two unpictured snakes! Friday evening, we enjoyed the view from the inn and continued to celebrate my mom’s birthday with prosecco. Man, this was good. We had dinner at the Bald Island Club bar, where I…
Whew. I made the ferry, with only minutes to spare! I had planned on taking the 7 o’clock, but found myself pulling into Southport at 5:55! I arrived an hour ahead of schedule and was able to join my family for dinner! Warm temperatures called for Mexican beer, hot bread with black bean relish, and a cobb salad covered in toppings! I kept dinner on the lighter side because birthday cake is mandatory every night this weekend. I ordered a…
I’m back home in Durham and having my usual vacation withdrawal (I ate a whole bag of jelly beans on the drive home…) We had such a fabulous time and the warm weather got me so pumped for spring! Too bad we woke up to pouring rain and dropping temperatures. Rumor has it, we might even see some snow. But, let’s back up to Friday – Matt and I grabbed dinner at the Bald Head Island Club bar. We had…
Boats. 61 and sunny. Fat Tire. Not-your-average-hushpuppies (stuffed with cheese and jalapenos). Blackened flounder. Bird songs. Bf. The marsh view. Sunset. Island escape.…
Tomorrow’s Friday and we’re going to the beach!!!!! Wooo hooo! My parents’ suite didn’t rent (since it’s the middle of winter), so we’re headed to Bald Head to get out of town and relax. The forecast is calling for rain, but give me a beer and an armchair and I’ll be happy (assuming I’m warm and dry in the armchair). We’re bringing some friends along with us, so I’m sure we’ll be entertained:) Tomorrow’s adventure means I made dinner using…
