Beach Summary
Sadly the beach is becoming but a memory. Summer is slipping from my grip. :( I love my job but I also appreciate my summer. Here's the rest of the pictures from our trip:
This little guy was a little close to my feet for comfort.
On Wednesday Afternoon we took a guided tour on the Crystal Coast Lady.
These are wild horses that live on Carrot Island.
We also went back to Fort Macon. It was interesting to learn how the fort was captured by the union during the War between the States. The union used it as a prison. It was later turned into a state park until War World II. Then it was essential in keeping Japanese submarines away from the coast. Pretty interesting to see the different uniforms wore by the soldiers.
You can also see where a cannon ball grazed these steps.
After enjoying our short week away it's back to laundry and a ridiculous amount of blogs to catch up on!
I have 4 weeks until I have kids to teach, and about 2 days that I don't have anything scheduled for. Busy Times~

Beach Bound!
Tuesday Morning we woke up and headed toward Crystal Coast NC, more specifically, Atlantic Beach.
We traveled most of the morning and early afternoon.
Ok, this picture is sort of a private joke but I'll let you in on it. Recently Michael and I have been snacking on raw veggies and dip ("and dip" being the key words there since neither of us are very health food oriented). I thought it was a great idea to cut up several containers of veggies and take it with us in a cooler. Needless to say it was the subject of several of Michael's jokes. Then low and behold if we don't get behind this bag. :).
Btw, he's enjoyed the veggies as much as me!
After arriving we made a quick visit to Fort Macon. It was actually closing time so we didn't get much time there.
We enjoyed dinner at the world famous Sanitary Fish Market.
After dinner we took a short walk on the beach
And then went back to the hotel, which had a great outdoor set up.
That sums up day two of vacation.
