Carolina in my mind

We went on a family vacation where the location was a surprise. Darin's friend has a beautiful home in Topsail Island, North Carolina that they so kindly let us use. Aunt Sheri and Connor met us at the Raleigh airport and we drove the 3 hours to our paradise.

We searched our whole vacation for grits and were finally successful on our last day. We went to a waffle house, and our dream was fulfilled. (I stole this picture from Sheri)


The wonderful beach, steps away from the house. Almost like our own private beach.


The girls could not stay out of the water even though it was freezing!

The pier down the beach a little. (Sheri's award winning photo)

The beautiful house looked like it was decorated by Martha Stewart herself!

Mermaid girls.
