On Sunday (the 2nd day of our excursion), Sharkey and I met up with my old boss and her husband, who are pretty good friends of mine. She a GRIT (girl raised in the south) and we remain good friends even though I do not work for her anymore and they live in NC. Actually, the funnier part is her husband and I talk almost every day via e-mail. We have become pretty good friends and share a lot of the same things in common (i.e. golf, clothes, jobs, etc.). Anyway, we met them for dinner in this quaint little town called Beaufort. It has little shops and some pretty cool restaurants. We decided it was worth taking a day trip back there and walk around during the week we spent at Emerald Isle.
We came across this cool ship building place:
It was pretty neat. You could sign up to build a ship hull with authentic ship building tools:
Pick a hull, any hull...
Here's a nice picture of Sharkey basking in the vacation glory:
We were at this dockside bar overlooking the water. We could see boats coming in and out. The bar was an "interesting" little place. It scared Sharkey's eyes!!! Fortunately we just had drinks there and no food was consumed.
We really enjoyed the beach and we are thinking we will go back again. It may become an annual thing for us. The water was just awesome and we really liked the area, the quiet, and the beaches were very nice too.
And finally I give you Maggie's first time on the beach. Does she like it? Does she hate it? You decide:

Sorry, had to do it. That picture was SO bad! If you want to see how bad, it's still on JP's Flickr site. Only Friends & Family will be subjected to it.
I couldn't see the offending photo on Flickr so I choose to believe it really isn't that bad at all! Silly!
And look at Maggie the Wave Runner. She seemed totally surprised the wave got her. Like WTF? And here it comes AGAIN!
