Bald Head Weekend

Brian had a meeting in Wilmington last Friday, so we all went. His wonderful grandmother, Fan, and a couple of his equally wonderful aunts and uncles let us stay at their place at Bald Head for the weekend. We had such a good time. The weather on Saturday was perfect!

While Brian was at his meeting, the kids and I visited with Fan and D at their house. I think my kids are so lucky to know some of their great- grandparents!

The ferry leaves from Southport, and we always try to eat at The Provision Company
before we get on the ferry. Okay, that website makes it look like even more of a hole-in-the-wall than it actually is. Really, it's an institution.






Noah had fallen asleep in the car on the way from Wilmington to Southport. He was quite grumpy when we woke him up to eat.

Here's Lilah on the ferry. All the boys rode inside, but Lilah and I rode up on top. It was a beautiful day.


Saturday morning we went by the Alligator pond. Usually we just see a ton of (cute) turtles, but every now and then we actually see a gator. We were lucky this time!

Of course, after the alligator pond, we headed to the fire station.

Hi Chrissy. I followed the link to your blog from MDC (from the post about homeschooling your son, you said you were from GSO...I'm in W/S). Even more coincidental, we were at Wilmington the same Saturday as you were. We stopped there to eat lunch downtown on the river on our way to Holden Beach.

Oh...I wanted to check out Southport one day when we the weather looked iffy but it ended up clearing up so we hit the beach instead.

Oh, man, the fire engine!! lol Did you guys just walk into the station and get a tour?? Or did you know someone?? When Kalki was about 5, his best friend's granddad was a fireman, and took his grandson and 5 other boys on a tour of the firestation, and let them do the hose and everything....highlight of Kalki's LIFE!! lol
