shop owners outting

So Michelle and Michelle have just concluded The Bluebird Cafe's first annual shop owners outting. It was held at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina and it was maaaaaaaaaaahvalous to say the least! : ) Actually, Michelle and Steven went on THEIR family vaca and invited us for the weekend. Last minute of course and OF COURSE we went. The weather was PeRfEcT and on Sunday night we were sad to say goodbye.
We arrived late Friday night and hit the sheets pretty quickly and woke up Saturday morn super early and super ready for the sand and surf. The sun was shining the wind was winding and the water was cool and ... watery. Miss Aidyn was lathered in SPF 50 and then MIchelle and MIchelle promptly got burned. We had lots of good food that night and then went out for icecream at Calabash Creamery. This morning we woke up a little later and went to breakfast at Victoria's. The scenery was vera vera nice, as we were seated next to three handsome firefighters. Then we went back and changed into our suits and headed back down to the water. once again, it was perfect and we stayed until lunch. While Aidyn napped, M & M went to check out some local shops (most were closed since it was sunday). When we got back, Bryson and I packed up and we all headed down to Holden Beach to a personal dining favorite: The Provision Co. ProCo is a little dive and it doesn't look like much but the food is sooooooooooo good, no great, no fan TASTIC. Everyone had the shrimp burger on my recommendation and no one was disappointed. The view of the ICW is great and the breeze was blowing juuust right - it would make you feel like you were in Baby Bear's spot at the table. We wrapped things up and had hugs and kisses all around and then headed home.
Michelle and Steve will be back at the end of the week and she will have all of the pictures from the glorious weekend. For now, you can re-read this post and maybe even drag out the memories of your own favorite vacations. Until then... Happy Week of the Fourth!
