Valentine's Day 3-Day Weekend

Yeah, yeah. It's been a while. Here's a recap of what happened this weekend.

We went to Carolina Beach for the 3-Day President's Day (Valentine's Day) Weekend! It SNOWED on the beach!

Don't believe me? This is the view from the condo:


Pretty awesome, right? Andrew thought so.


We walked out to the beach. It was cold, Andrew was not quite a fan...


Doesn't it just look frigid?


SNOW ON THE BEACH!


Okay, fast forward- back to the condo. It was really, really cold- and with a 2 year old, we just booked it back.

We took the token "snow at the beach"pictures, so now for the fun...


We built Andrew a REAL snowman!


He just stared at it...


Pretty anti climatic.

The NEXT day, we set out on a grand adventure. We went to the Oldest Lighthouse in N.C. "Old Baldy" on Bald Head Island. Bald Head Island's traffic consists of feet, bicycles, and golf carts. No cars allowed- except for the construction vehicles building the multi-million dollar beach houses. Maybe next year we'll put a bid in. (smirk)

I'm getting ahead of myself- we had to eat. Andrew had another first- his first CORNDOG!


Much like his mother, Andrew does not care for corn dogs.


But he's always got room for some CHEESE!


Anyway... to get there (Bald Head Island) from Ft. Fisher we had to take ferry! A ferry, who cares? Um... ANDREW (Joanne and James)! No one had ever been on a ferry- or "car boat" before!

On the CAR BOAT! Pretty exciting..




More CHEESE!

Okay, so this post ends pretty abruptly... but here's a parting shot of my 2 Valentines walking back to the condo this morning- concluding our 3-Day Weekend.
