Oh what a wonderful day it is when you get to spend some it with the Bacons. Yes today Mike and I hopped in the truck, after dropping Miss Millie off at the Stateham's for a playdate with Clancey and headed down to Surf City, NC to meet up with Jeff and Sandy Bacon, our cruising friends. On the map we only live 3 hours from each other, but in the last year we seem to only see one another in Columbus when we are all up there visiting. Yes that means driving 600+ miles to people that are literally 3 hours away. That must be changed!
So Mike found a place that is half way, yes 1-1/2 hour trip by vehicle and then found us a place to meet for lunch. Lunch was okay, but the company was fantastic. We ALWAYS love seeing these two. Sandy is a retired art teacher and and arty person just like me where Jeff and Mike could talk about boats and boat "stuff" all day long. After lunch we took a quick trip down to Surf City Beach. It was a wonderful day and there was even talk about possibly cruising together this next season. Yahoo!

A selfie when we first arrived. |

After lunch the guys hung out while us ladies hit a nearby shop. |

Hmm I think this could be a new project for Mike and I. |
It seems to be a tradition that we take a group selfie when the four of us are together. There is only one "little" problem with this. I am sooo much shorter than the other three so often times my head gets well....eliminated. Well these turned out pretty good.

Sandy and I found this sand castle |

The beach wasn't very crowded today, seeing that the kids are back in school. |

The guys just enjoying the view and a great conversation. |

Us ladies just took a walk |
We headed our way back and stopped downtown New Bern, just to catch a couple of shots near the river. It was a such a wonderful day!
Beautiful photos. So nice to see the four of you!
