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 Companybefore 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.
