Vacation Day #2

Love this photo. Even caught Spike smiling.

Last travel day. We had 5 and half hours today. We left Mt Airy a little late because we had to arrive here after 4pm. Fred found a neat cigar warehouse place along our route so he was as happy as we are in stitching stores haha. I'm happy he found it. It was a little more than an hour after we hit the road. Then we came the rest of the way.

We arrived safe and sound in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina...

The ocean is finally out our window again. We got here about 6pm. We unloaded everything into our condo which is very lovely. Fred and me ran to the grocery store and got a few essentials then picked up pizza on the way back to the room. Ate and then I got busy putting everything the way I needed it to be haha. OCD comes in handy. Want this place to look nice you know. Jeremiah took him place relaxing and being on Youtube...

Poor kid just hates traveling haha. We walked out on the balcony and looked at the ocean when we first got here. A beautiful shrimp boat was out in the water. Jeremiah and I hugged and had a good cry. Just so crazy to be here in OBX without mom. We feel her with us yes but not physically standing beside us. Just crazy. I think it is really good for both of us. Like an end to our mourning maybe. If she's not here beside us she has to really be gone. So maybe we can heal better. After leaving here. Maybe. We'll see. A lot to do before we leave. We are here till Saturday morning. I'm glad we have a lot we are looking forward to.

Tomorrow I setup a meeting with a friend who I've been friends with online for 2 years now. She lives a bit north of here so we are going to meet up half way. Can't wait!

Plus we are going to take Spike out to the beach for his first time. Can't wait to do that either. As much as he loves the pond we think he will love it. First up though....sleep.

What a city name! LOL Awesome for Fred on his find! Jeremiah looks very comfy! I hope this trip will help you with the mourning. A good cry is necessary on occasion and they do help. Sounds like you have your day tomorrow planned out for some good fun, it will be great to meet nother online friend!
