We had so much fun on the family vacation to Emerald Isle, North Carolina this summer. We stayed in a really fun beach house right on the water. The boys loved the ocean. Every morning they would hurry and eat breakfast and then beg to go swimming. We loved spending time with all the Babbels. Everyone was there except for Justin (who is on a mission in Japan). The boys loved playing with their cousin Lex. We really had a great time. I especially like going to New Bern, to get Pepsi at the original pharmacy it was invented at in 1898. Dumpy town, but neat adventure. Mike and I also went over to historical BEAUFORT and toured the towns historic cemetery and homes. The most interesting was the Hammock House where Blackbeard the pirate stayed very frequently, rowing in from his ship in The Creek and tying his dingy to the front porch. Some say there was treasure buried in the yard.
I also loved the shocked faces of family and particularly my husband as I crunched into a "Softshell crab sandwich" at the famous "SANITARY" restaurant in Moorehead City. The legs were still on the crab (you eat them too!)and Mike thought I was eating a tarantula on a bun. I loved milking the moment, slowly taking bites and giving a sigh of enjoyment.
Pretty fun stuff,loved every second of it!
