Bacon Day!

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!
