Jean and I had a great time last week on vacation with Angela, Eric, Madison, Anna and Teresa and Rylyn. Rhett spent all his military leave moving from Alaska to Frederick MD and was not able to be with us. We rented a Villa at Dunescape Villas from Saturday June 24th to Saturday the 30th. We actually left on Friday the 23rd and spent the night in Black Mountain NC breaking up the 675 mile trip to two easy days. The weather was perfect only raining a bit on our return trip. Angela and Eric took a day boat trip to an island with lighthouse and enjoyed their day together. We found a great little restaurant in Beaufort “Clawsons 1905 Restaurant” and Angela, Eric and Teresa went one evening and Jean and I went the next night. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere great.
On the way home we spent the night in Mt. Airy North Carolina. This is the home town of Andy Griffith and the town has the Mayberry Mall, Aunt Bea’s BBQ, and many other Andy Griffith show items. We had our evening meal at “Goobers 52” and that was another fun time. All in all we had a great trip even though it did require a trip to a Mazda dealership in Raleigh on the way home to change out a coil on Eric’s van. They were great and got us in and out in about an hour and a half and cost Eric and Angela under $200 and we were back on the road. We had a great trip and we would highly recommend the “Crystal Coast” beaches of the Atlantic as a fun, laid back vacation spot.
Wow, it sounds like y’all had a great time. What a fun way to spend holiday time with the grand kids and enjoy the sun, sand and surf. Thanks for sharing your experience and pictures!
:vacation:
Looks like a lovely place to holiday. The kids are really getting big! Great to see everyone in the pictures.
Jean and Bill you have beautiful grandchildren. The vacation looks to have been alot of fun for all.
I just finished a slideshow of your Beach Holiday and other visuals you’ve posted which are really lovely. It’s nice to see all the grand kids growing and changing and inter-connecting with their parents and grandparents. And the gene patterns seem to be coming through loud and clear. Everyone resembles everyone else, but each seem to be their own person.
