Back from the Beach
We visited Topsail Island this weekend. When Adrienne was little, her dad had a good friend whom he taught with at Eastern Michigan University who had a vacation home on the island. This was back in the mid 80s. Anyway, Adrienne and her family took several summer vacations at Topsail Beach, and since we moved to North Carolina, they've been kind enough to invite us down to visit as well.
When we went to Myrtle Beach earlier in the year, Emily was afraid of the ocean - as she always has been. The waves scared her.
However, she is obviously over that fear now, as she found playing in the waves was a lot of fun. I've always enjoyed it too =)
At any rate, Adrienne and I also had dinner at Latitude 34, an "up-scale" restaurant on the south end of the island. We had eaten there for our first anniversary back in 1998, though it was under different management then, and a different name - Beauchaines. The menu is fancy, but being an island restaurant, you don't have to dress up to go there, thank goodness. Who takes fancy clothes to the beach? Well, the service was great and the food wasn't too bad either. Check it out if you're in the area.
We had a great time - I'm really glad that they invite us down, it's always a pleasure to visit. I think next year we're going to plan a week long trip and rent a place with Adrienne's dad, step-mom, sister and brother-in-law. Plenty of nice 4 bedroom second row places nearby for around $1000 a week in the summer.
