missing the beach + dancing

final installment of our fun beach vacation at North Topsail.
first ~ HBD little sister!

Amazon prime has given us music for my morning workout and beach- break-dance-time.

Our fave vacation songs were:
Work from home
Worth It
Cheap Thrills
 and many more

 

 

These kids are crazy. We used the super thick sunscreen on our last full day at the beach.

It's like a beauty mask.

But they were aiming for the football face paint look.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's lolo and his 7 grandkids... 7 under 7.

Day 5 and 6 North Topsail Beach photo diary.

For day 1
day 2
day 3/4

 

The choppers flew over us twice a day

Camp Lejeune was 20 miles away

 

 

 

bye, bye beach umbrella. after protecting our family from the sun's rays for 6 years, we had to leave you in NC in pieces.

 

 

My dad went the day before to Jacksonville and bought milkfish, mackerel and squid to grill. Lunch was amazing! I had never gutted fish before (eeek) but have seen my grandma do it. I gladly let dad do all the fish-gut cleaning.

Thanks, dad, for such a lovely lunch. The children loved the grilled seafood.

This was our first time driving overnight. Instead of leaving at 3a, we left at 10p. Hubs and I were both off anyway so we ran errands and then took naps. The children were so excited that hubs was still loading the car and they endured the heat inside buckled in their car seats.


By 1a, 3/4 children were sleeping. By 2:30a, 4/4 children. We made good time and they didn't even wake up when we refueled.

Our first long stop was at Winston-Salem at a Starbucks. It was my turn to commandeer the pilot. after that. I grabbed my latte and played top pop station (thanks Amazon prime). I could have driven all the way to Jacksonville, NC if not for an empty tank.  We stopped for another time at the gas pump.
