Beach & Camping










Last month we ended up driving to Myrtle Beach and spending the day. It was beautiful! I love the ocean, the sound, the smell, pretty much everything about it I love. What I love most about living in North Carolina is that we are smack dab in the middle of the ocean and the mountains. I feel like we are back in California and have the best of both worlds. Davey didn't really enjoy the ocean as much. He hated the feel of the sand and the water was too cold for him to enjoy it. He did enjoy his stroller though, so much he fell asleep in it a few times while we were out and about. He was just a tired little guy that day. During Easter weekend we went back to the coast, but this time we went camping. We met our friends the Holley's at the Carolina Beach State Park and our friend Cookie joined us as well! The Holley's went a day before us and they ended up getting pounded with rain the night before we came, luckily the rain stuck around for only a little while after we arrived and was completely gone by the time nighttime rolled around. It was Davey's first time camping and he was a trooper! He did great! He loved the dirt! We had lots of yummy food and told some great stories around the fire. Oh how I love the smell of camping fires. It makes it feel like summer! We tried our hand at dutch oven cooking and I think I am hooked. It was so easy and so good, I am tempted to use it here at home now. The following day we all went to the beach, it wasn't the warmest outside but the water was actually not too bad. We had a fun weekend and we were glad to be able to share it with our friends!
