We left the crowded sandy madness of Myrtle Beach and continued north to Emerald Isle. This was a short trip as well, which was nice for Jim. It was kind of a funny day since we made a couple of stops at Home Depot and the auto parts store.. housekeeping type stuff. We are silly... we all get excited when we cross into a new state as well.... :) I didn't take many photos today so I just included a scenic shot below of the area right before we came onto the Isle.
The campground at Emerald Isle is beautiful! Similar to Myrtle Beach, we are essentially adjacent to the beach, but these lots are all grass and they are spaced out nicely! It's a great location too, so we are going to see if we can leave the truck parked and just use our bikes while we are here.
After we got the trailer all set up, we had lunch and then headed for the water park. I can't tell you the last time I was on a water slide, but it was a blast! The boys never came out of the water. Fun stuff!
After the water slides, we came back and had dinner. The weather is somewhat cooler here (low 80s) so we ate outside. We haven't been able to do that much during this trip. We then took a walk down to the beach to check things out. Faith wasn't too anixous to get into the water which was strange... perhaps she's still pooped from yesterday. It curious that we are able to find so many more sea shells on these beaches than we find at home.
We dropped Faith off at the trailer and then headed for miniature golfing. It's getting competitive as the boys are getting older... I think Greg had 3 holes in one! Jim had two and Connor had one. I was the loser who didn't have any. Oh well... we still had fun. It was getting dark at this point, so I'm glad I have a light on my bike.
So nice to hear about my old stomping grounds! FYI..you never get used to the humidity!! Oh the humanity what "oh the humidity!" Sounds like you guys are having a blast and we are all living vicariously through you. No mention Cathy of the Spanish moss in the trees in Savannah which I think is cool. The pic of you guys on the beach at Myrtle beach reminds me of Folly Island off Charleston. Thanks for sharing and continue to enjoy and safe travels. Oh I certainly hope you and Jim got the "SHAG" down while in Myrtle beach... much mor so a N. Myrtle beach thing...HA!! :0) Enjoy!! Miss you!!
