Before we completely slip into the winter months, I wanted to post about our little getaway to Ocean Isle, NC last month (which is about right; the current rate of my blog posts has been at a consistent one month delay). It was such a sweet and much needed time away that it is soothing just to look back some of these photos.
We almost didn't make the trip out there because we got news report that a hurricane was coming, along with a ton of rain, and that it could potentially affect that area. We tracked the weather and made the ultimate decision to go for it and we are so happy we did. We barely got any of the storm, but when we woke up on the first morning, the sky was a gorgeous swirl of gray, the wind was strong but warm, and it was all very romantic. That first evening, we went out to the beach and it was maybe the most gorgeous scene I have ever been in.
My cousin Lois was able to join over this weekend and I loved having her with us, and also quite importantly, we were able to all celebrate our dear friend Mignon's birthday together. We spent that day on the beach, I made us a dinner of plantain lasagna, and Mignon made a caramel cake with candied apples (of which I ate 3 or 4!).
The slow pace of this trip was a balm, and I reaffirmed my love for the North Carolina beach in October. Here are some of my favorite photos from that weekend:
goodbye sound, until next time.
Oh North Carolina beach, how I miss thee.
