carolina beach, nc
one week ago today we packed up the car and drove six hours to carolina beach after we picked Lilian up from school
due to parent/teacher conferences and a teacher working day, she had a four day weekend so i planned a beach getaway for us all (foxy included)
i got a pet friendly airbnb right on the beach where we comfortably stayed for four nights
being right on the ocean was a must
for four days the first thing i saw was the ocean and the last thing i heard was the ocean
nothing better as far as i’m concerned
if i could go back to living in miami, before making the decision to move to asheville sight unseen, i would hold that decision and explore more places
like wilmington
a place close to the ocean that right away felt more like home than asheville ever could even four years after living here
but such is life
and in life mistakes are made
and lessons are hopefully learned
i now know that this is the farthest i will ever live from the ocean
but i also know that one day i will live close to the ocean again
because it’s what feels right and natural to me
and i may not always be certain of everything
but i am certain of that
it was night time when we arrived but, woke up to this. and regardless of how cold and rainy it was that day, i stood out on the balcony and took it all in
it was really cold and rainy that first full day there. but it didn’t stop us from going to the beach
because it was so cold and rainy, we took shelter for a few hours at the north carolina aquarium in fort fisher
favorite books and new author found at the aquarium’s gift shop
friday started out cold as well but i went on a morning beach walk regardless
while William worked at the apartment, Lilian and i drove to wilmington where we explored downtown and saw snippets of spring
afternoon beach walk and the beginning of a sunset
i woke up early enough to catch the sunrise both saturday and sunday morning. right off our balcony. no way better to start the day
