The Beach

After a busy half of a week, we finally made it to the beach! This year, we joined with Steuart, Sheila, and Rebekah, some of Jeremiah's extended family who live in North Carolina. We stayed in an oceanfront duplex, which was fantastic! The weather couldn't have been better, and was actually about ten degrees cooler than the 100+ temps Richmond was experience. Phew! For the most part we slept in, spent the day on the beach, and then came in for an evening of gluttony and cards. We each had one night to prepare dinner, giving everyone a break from the kitchen. Jeremiah and I made buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese with watermelon and salad on the side. It was a hit! On the one gloomy day, Jeremiah and I went on a lunch date to a crabhouse overlooking the ocean. Mmmmm sweet tea, crabby shrimp dip, and a steam bucket filled with clams, crab legs, shrimp, corn, and potatoes. We had a great time all week and now I am reaping the benefits of the sun hitting my skin for six days straight!
