Jeremy's dad and step mom where able to come down for Bella's birthday and they stayed for the rest of the week. Since they were staying at a house on Emerald Isle we took a few days off work, and school and headed to the island for a little break.
The first day we just lounged around and played in the sand. Jeremy did a lot of fishing, and I enjoyed reading and taking in the view from the porch. The next day we got up early and headed to Beaufort for the first part of the day. We went to the North Carolina Maritime Museum, did a lot of shopping, and got some ice cream from one of my favorite places in Beaufort, the General Store.
After a great afternoon we decided to head to Ft. Macon for the rest of the day. I had never been there so I didn't really know what to expect, but me and the kids loved it! I wish we had got there earlier, because they had stopped the guided tours for the day. We still got to walk around and explore on our own. We will be going back to Ft. Macon again as soon as it starts getting warm again! We rounded out the night with a visit to a local restaurant that was awesome!! If only I remembered the name! When we got back to the beach house we let the kids play in the sand one last time since we would be going back to Jacksonville in the morning.
The trip was short, but very much needed. It was the perfect way to recharge after Bella's party, and a little bit of fun before Jeremy had to have surgery again. The kids were very sorry to see Eddie and Karen go!!
