This past weekend, Juliette & I took to the road with Auntie Em. On a journey to meet up with our good friends Mayleen, Myalee and Mara in Atlantic Beach, NC. We headed out early Saturday morning. The trip there was broken up by a brief visit to the tackiest tourist stop that there ever was, South of the Border. AND I LOVED IT! We got ourselves some ice cream and walked around to view the sights. I honestly don't know why, but I adore tacky. I could have stayed a few days there easily. If you are ever on 95 driving through NC/SC, you should stop and see Pedro.
After a 2.5 hour delay in Wilmington due to a six car pile up, we made it to Atlantic Beach. We were excited to see our friends! On Sunday, we visited Fort Macon which was a short five minute drive from our hotel (BTW...Hampton Inn's have THE best FREE breakfasts!). The fort is free to visit (SCORE!). A nice little history lesson. After that we went to Beaufort to catch a ferry to Shackleford Banks to see the wild horses. Juliette loved the boat ride and could have cared less about the wild horses. Go figure. While the girlies napped, we drove around Morehead City and took turns (Emily & I) running into stores to shop. We ate at a fun place called Dank Burrito. It was delish!
Those were the highlights of the trip cause we left early Sunday morning...a super duper fast trip...but so much fun!
