This past weekend was awesome!! We headed to Wilmington, NC to stay with the Guthrie family. My best friend growing up, Gary Guthrie, his wife and daughter, live at Carolina Beach, but we stayed with Gary's parents in Wilmington. They have a gorgeous house, and awesome backyard, complete with swimming pool, tiki bar, a garden, koi pond, and beautiful plants and flowers. We didn't want to leave! Thursday night we were greeted with a homemade seafood lasagna, ala Gary. The weekend was full of wonderful foods....Belgian waffles, french toast, king crab legs, steak, wine, and too many desserts!! We took the dogs with us, and you can imagine how we looked like a zoo, trying to transport everything, and everyone, to the beach. Gary's place is just across the street from the ocean, so we didn't have far to go once we parked at his place. We had a great set up with a tent and umbrella, to keep Sweet P out of the sun. Payton enjoyed the beach, so much so, that she wouldn't take a nap!! She wasn't fussing, just loved watching her dogs swim, and "Uncle Gary" surf. We met up with an old college friend of mine for dinner Friday night, Aaron Martin, then headed back to the beach on Saturday. Not a cloud in the sky the whole weekend....my other good college friend, JJ Catlett, met us out for a day of surfing. He brought the beer. He was our hero ;) Payton also took her first dip in the pool, and loved it! Of course she has no choice but to be a water baby! Gary's daughter, Cameron 5 years old, was a huge help. She LOVED Payton, and she and "Grammy", Gary's mom, really wanted to keep her there! The dogs were completely worn out, and so were we. Our "relaxing" days on the beach are over, but it's SO worth every bit of it. As soon as we got back home Sunday, we jumped on the boat and headed to our friend, Adrianne's lake house. Then had a cookout at Britt and Dan's. It was an incredible weekend. Enjoy the pictures!!
